Can you identify the axle?

Hey guys,

Looking to buy a particular Jeep, and forgot to verify that it has the axle the owner claims it has. I did, however, get a picture.

Can you identify the axle in this Jeep?

Dana 44. That's the better of the two Wrangler axles.

Yep, that's a 44.

Cool, thanks guys. That's what it looked like to me, but I wanted to be sure! I think I'm going to enjoy my stay here at Jeepz!

Sweet. We'll have to see some pics of your new buddy.

Looks like somebody was eyeing up the gear ratio?

Not meaning to hi-jack your thread rinogo, but could anyone tell me what this is?

Is this a trick question? :scratch:

If there's no funny business, it looks and awful lot like a dana 35.

Good lord, the guy i bought it from said it had a Dana 44 in the rear and i couldnt tell them apart so i just believed him(which was 1 year ago) and as i was crawling around under it today, i was like somethings not right here, theres no way its a dana 44. I guess i was right. That turdy-five is gonna snap really easy with them 35's i just know it

Eh, just try to be careful, I guess. Don't push him too hard. I'm sorry that guy said it was a Dana 44.

Maybe you should make one of those tire retainer devises you strap to your frame if the c-clip breaks.

Yeah all you can do is try, I figured it being the Sport and the 6 cyl you'd think it have an dana 44 under there, but its done good so far, i've pulled several people out and barked the tires a few times ha
