Probably a common want among these listings but I figured I'd ask nonetheless. I have a 1997 Jeep Wrangler that the prior owner put a mismatched ring/pinion set from the junk yard in, no surprise it binds as if there were rocks inside.
I know I could probably find a used matched ring & pinion for cheap but then I am still out that price, plus a $100 for new shims, time putting it all together etc. At that rate I figured it'd be just as expensive and less time just to swap the whole dang thing and clean up some space in someones garage or backyard who has already pulled their stock dana 35 for an upgrade and put some cash in their pocket. The other alternative is to find something more along the lines of what I want eventually, that would be a dana 44 already geared at my desired ratio, then just round up a matching front or re-gear my 30. Not much of a welder so either setup will need to be able to bolt right up under a 97 TJ.
So in order to get my newly purchased (bigger project than anticipated) actually on the road I am in need of one of the following setups.
Stock:
97-06 Wrangler bracket setup on a Rear Dana 35 with 3.55 gears.
Stock Upgrade:
97-06 Wrangler bracket setup on a Rear Dana 44 with 3.55 or 4.88 gears.
Lockers or limited slip, chromoly axles, or disc brakes, in either would obviously be great and warrant a higher value. Or if you have a matching front and rear setup out of an 03-06 Rubicon that'd work too, but lets be honest if you are wanting $4k for them I might as well buy some new G2's.
Feel free to call, text, or PM me.
Thanks,
