i bought these axles a couple months ago, put em under the zj and they have only been offroad once since i installed them. i dont want to continue building up my zj, so i figured i'd let someone else take advantage of these axles.

here are some specs:

8.8 Axle:
31 Spline axle from Ford Explorer ($400)
4.56 gear set ($169)
4.56 master install kit ($87.95)
Detroit c-locker ($575.88) (Full Detroit)
Brake pads ($26.87)
Flange adapter ($25.34)
Flange adapter bolt kit ($11.75)
Calipers (167.58)
Caliper hardware kit ($12.99)
Outer wheel bearings and seals ($37.62)
Gear set up fee ($275)
8.8 Bracket install welding and brake work ($630)
H&R aluminum wheel spacers and ARP wheel studs ($225)
Tax ($63.90)

Total cost to build : $2708.88

Dana 30:
It is a low pinion axle w/ u-joint axle shafts

When I bought it, the axle had just been completely rebuilt with:
New 4.56 gears
a New Detroit Tru-trac locker
rebuild cost $800

There is also a truss welded in on the long tube side from the diff to the passenger side control arm mount. (which i can remove if need be).

Both axles were professionally rebuilt by a guy that has his own off-road shop in Michigan.

These axles have only seen some on-road use and 2 or 3 wheeling trips total. I have only used them once offroad, they performed excellent, there is no going back after wheeling something with lockers.

I would like $2000 for these axles, which is less than the total cost just to build the 8.8, shipping can be arrange at expense of buyer or i can deliver them with in reason.

If you are interested you can contact me via PM or email at weygacg@wku.edu

have a good one,
chris

Let me know if you change your mind. I am looking for a truetrac for my HP30.

I could even give you a complete open carrier with spider gears.

sorry if it was not clear but i would like 2000 for the 8.8 & the dana 30. so how ever you would like to price each is fine. but i think it would be pretty hard for someone to build these axles to the specs listed and not spend atleast 2000, esspecially if you dont have access to the tools necessary to do the modifications.

thanks,
chris
