Either way, if it has 4.10s, it's worth $250 IMO. You would spend that much just on regearing when you want 4.10s. Do you have 4.10's in the front? If not, you might want to consider buying the set because again, you would spend more than $250 regearing your front
I have the 4.10 and carrier for my front, I planned to build the front axle ( I would like to keep it) and replace the rear (8.25) to a 8.8 but I saw this 44 for sale.

44 is marginally stronger than a 29spl 8.25 and about on par with a 8.8.

Have him do the tire spin check and get back with us

He says frot axle are locked as well. I guess it's worth 500 asking price... Wish I had that cash though

Don't take his word for it. I would pull both covers and inspect them. He obviously doesn't know what he's talking about.

$250 for a D44 is a pretty good deal though, even if it is open. Some XJ D44's came with LSD. My D44 has doubled up clutch packs, I can only get it to slip taking corners at decent speeds.

I don't think he doesn't know it's a d44. That's why I m trying to talk him down. He just kept saying it got lockers and 4.10's. hell he even sent me a picture of that axle, he never once said hey it's a d44, and it's worth some money.
