Kinda new to all this, but out of curiosity, what would you keep an eye out for with regards to a used axle like this? Besides the obvious bumps/scrapes.

Not in a position to buy, and figured I'd let you guys look - given it's from a wrecked LJ, is the price in the general ballpark? Again, can't afford that right now so feel free to jump on it. Just my little freebie for the day

The sucky part about that buy is, it was in crash so u have no idea how the gears look. If u actually wanted to buy it u would wanted to take if the cap and look at the gears. Lets be honest the dana 44 is 5000$ and they are selling it for 1200$ it's the classic case of getting suckered. Not sure if u would but u never know at that price. I would look at the gears and shaft. If its snapped u just paid for some medal. Hope that helps

If you will pay $5000 for a LJ D44, I'll sell you mine today. LOL

Look around and you will finally find a deal. I paid $650 for my Dana 44, but I was patient in looking.

Remember, you can buy a brand new and stronger G2 D44 axle outfitted with the gears of your choice, chromoly axle shafts and an ARB for under $3000. With that in mind, $1200 for a stock d44 out of a salvaged vehicle seems a bit steep.
