Dana44 for XJ

Re: Dana44 for XJ
XJ and TJ have the same track width. The D44 shafts from each are
interchangeable, but the backing plates are different because the XJ
housing has thicker OD tubes.
I don't see any problem building your own housing with centered diff to
use two RH shafts. Any effect on lateral driveline angle is negligible.
Note that the D44 pinion is 1" longer than the D35. If you are lifted,
this is great, otherwise you may need a shortened drive shaft.
Other D44 donors to consider are Toyota Tacoma and Isuzu Rodeo.

Dana44 for XJ
Hello,
I have a 2000 model XJ with a D35c rear axle (ratio 3.73). I plan to replace
the axle with a D44 but there are limited options available here in South
Africa (no real XJ D44s, no Scouts or Explorers, etc.). Older Jeeps are
scarce but recent models of ZJs, KJs and TJs are more plentiful and should not
be difficult to find parts for. Therefor I would like to base the D44 on TJ
parts but have a few questions:
1 - Is there a difference in width between the rear axle of an XJ and a TJ?
(If I use TJ shafts in whatever D44 pumpkin and customised tubes I build, will
that fit underneath my XJ? I have no room to go narrower.)
2 - Can I build the axle using two right-hand shafts?
(I see that the left-hand shaft of a TJ D44 (29-1/4) is slightly shorter than
the right-hand shaft (29-11/16). (Why?) Or are these shafts treated to be
stronger in their designed rotational direction? This could gain me 1/2 inch
total width and I would only need to carry one spare shaft.)
Comments will be appreciated.
Bertie.

Yes, I run Netscape too, but is your Operating System, that's place
you enter your time zone, like where you are on this earth compared to
Greenwich, England, so we may all be on the same page. This is what we

Re: Dana44 for XJ
Thanks,
I shall ask about the YJs here.
My computer's time is fine. I do not run Windows so this must be a Mozilla
thing. Your message is shown as 8.45pm which, if you have replied soon after
I had posted, was our local time.
