I changed my mind. I'm sure I'll change it again. :-\

What might you be replacing it with? ::) a JK 44 maybe??
-
A 44 out of a 88 wagoneer. ;D
I'm trading my old tires for a matching f/r set of 44's. I'll either resell the rear, or give it to Pete to do the work.
-
you mean the rear 44? how much?

I don't know if I'm going through with it now, or not. If I do pick it up this weekend, I'll sell it for $250. The more I look into doing this swap, the more expensive and complex it gets. I have to cut off the old brackets, spend $400 on a new bracket set, plus gears and a locker. The real problem is the bolt pattern. It's a 6 bolt pattern, instead of 5. There are a couple of ways to bring it to either 5 on 5.5, or 5 on 4.5. I'm still doing research on it, but it's not looking like it's worth the trouble and money so far. Hopefully I will know more tomorrow.

You know this man!!!
Matching set of 44's traded for a set of tires you aren't using anymore, sounds like a good deal to me, even if you don't do anything with them right away, it's worth it. Take your time and build it over the winter...Install next spring...

I thought about doing that, but I'd rather take the cash for the tires.
I've got a guy interested in the tires for $400. If he gives me an answer before Friday, then I'll probably sell them to him. If not, then I'll probably go pick up the axle's.
