Dang then according to Bill, I guess it is a figment of our collective
imagination that AMC introduced the AMC 20 axle with the dreaded 2-piece
axle shaft design known for its weakeness to the CJ line. It was then
Chrysler that reintroduced the Dana 44 axle dropped by AMC which according
to Bill, made the CJ an non-Jeep? Hmmm... maybe Chrysler's ideas weren't so
bad afterall, eh Bill? ;)

Re: Jeep Wrangler TJ axle type???
 

3.55:1 was an optional axle ratio for the D35c in '97. Jerry is right
about the D44 - it was a late-year add to the option list, and didn't
make the printed brochures for '97.
