Hey Bill, I'm confused... accident in my front yard?
I wasn't sure about the D44 as an option on the YJ but if someone did an SOA
and swapped in an XJ D44... that'd make my decision a lot easier! The seller
didn't know the vehicle so I didn't even bother to throw out technical
questions. It could be a gold mine with the right upgrades and a bad body or
a POS with a hockey puck lift. Pucks are plentiful 'round these parts... you
can pick them right off the tree.

I can get a 4.0L from a 97 TJ for $1400.00 Can. $300.00 for a Dana 300,
the AX15 I bought out of said TJ was $1000.00, be a bit of work but for
about the price of a used TJ you could have a 15 year old YJ ;) My $4000.00
Can. CJ is up to 6 grand and I still have gears, locker, maybe new
tires...............

Re: 89 Wrangler - Should I or Shouldn't I?
Hi Brain,
Apparently I've confused you with some whom had their XJ totaled by
an out of control car, sorry. I think you have a vivid imagination if
you can leap from a lift to a Dana 44. I hope I'm wrong.

Re: 89 Wrangler - Should I or Shouldn't I?
I read somewhere that some '89 YJ's had D44's as an option in Canada. That
excited me because I had just bought my '89 YJ at the time of my reading the
article.
But low and behold, it was a 35c. I can't complain, it hasn't given me any
trouble yet! Wait, yes it has.. I'll post that now..
