Looks to me like a lock-right or some other drop-in locker that uses the stock carrier.
 
You can probably find a cheaper axle at a junkyard; 30 is not unheard of, and the 4.10's came stock on the 2.5L, so they are not terribly hard to find (having said that, there were no wranglers to be found in the junkyards in Miami). Also, the D35 in stock form does not like lockers very much... You may as well take the chance and upgrade to a Ford 8.8, which you can find with Limited Slip, 4.10 gears and rear disc brakes for under $300 at a junk yard. Look for the mid 90's explorers.
 
Heres a little more info on the locker i found out that it is a lunch box locker if anyone knows anything about these please let me know i have never heard of them
 

Lunchbox locker is more of a slang term used to describe a locker that is easily installed by replacing the spider gears with the locker unit. Some brands are Aussie, Lockright, EZlocker, etc.

I think it's worth about $300, not much more. That axle is only slightly stronger than its c-clip variant found in later model jeeps.
