Found this at a JY. It is off an 80s MJ. Is this any better than a D35 and what would it take to swap?

Thanks,

what are those beams across the picture?

i was wondering the same, i never saw that before. i thought one was maybe a sway bar, and the other looked like a trac bar, don't know why they would be there like that though.

hey nice find...i need to go see if i can find a d44 from a comanche now lol

ktmracer419

that is NOT a dana44

looks more like a sterling (ford) 10.25

HeavyMetal

Nope.

well if it was under an comanche i would pull the cover and see if any other goodies are in it (deep gears, locker) its a 1 ton axle, the aftermarket is pretty limited on them, but they can be a decent axle

What year Camanche is this rear axle in? Is it cut for a stock width? If so, it is a rare or just very fortunate find. I agree with KTM. It does look like a Sterling 10.25. If it is a 1 ton axle cut to the stock track width for a Camanche it is an awesome find and will fit an XJ as well.

whoops, i was assuming this was original equipment, and with the junk in the way i assumed d44. here's what an mj d44 looks like. i looked and answered too quickly.

My rear D44 looks just like that only without the optional rust coating....wonder if he had to pay extra for that.....

jpdocdave

BuckB91XJ
