Wagoneer 44s

That's high for those axles. I'll tell you that I picked up my Waggy 44 with 4.88 gears, chromo shafts and spool along with a 8.8, welded and 4.88 gears for my YJ for $525. No trusses or anything and the brakes will need work, but even with those couple things I won't have near what you will have into those axles. Set up for XJ may be a little more expensive than set up for SOA YJ, but I don't think they should be that much more, especially with mini-spools. They are cheap.

Everyone keeps telling me that and I'm with them. Trust me, I'm in no rush to spend that kind of cash :-X since he's a Craigslist guy it might be kinda hard to negotiate too. I'm meeting him in about an hour, I'll see what happens. Worst case I don't get them. I've set a price limit for myself that I'll walk away with if he won't compromise. Thank you all so much

I ended up picking up the axles. Welds looked good, Hubs looked newer and everything checked out. Paid 1800.
calvynandhobbs:
Congrats on the new axles. They do look clean and you gave the steering ready to go also. I still have to figure out what I'm going to do for steering. There's something to be said about buying something ready to install and not having to figure out other factors.
98xj:
Thanks! Half the reason was for the convenience of installation and time I'll save. I'll figure out what needs tweaking once I get to the install stage. I know I definately need a body mount for the trackbar, redone front and rear shock mounts, some sort of shielding for the brake lines and this is all assuming the steering and trackbar match my particular setup.
You mentioned that you're running a waggy as well? You have the advantage of the knuckles being setup for otk, I feel like any of the good names out there have solid setups for steering jcr, ruff stuff, Clayton and Currie both do I believe etc. Or you can go hi steer ;D :o
