$900.00 jeep turn out to be a 900 dollor jeep

well when i bought it . the man says it has locker in front and rear. the front is welded and the back i dont know about he says it was a mudd boog rig. i belive it can ya help me and tell me about the rearend.

41.11 is on both font and rear is this a 44 rear and a 30 up front or what. please help

the first pic. is the rear and next 2 the welded front.
what all is iam going to need to fix it.
and is the rear a pois or not thanks

 

how safe is the front and how will it drive.

 

Rear looks like a Trac-lock. Don't know about the gashes in the carrier though.

41-11 is the ring and pinion tooth count resp. 41/11 = 3.73, the axle ratio.

Dana 44 rear and 30 would be stock, and that's what it appears to be. Front is welded obviously - that's a type of "locker", a so-called Lincoln locker.

 

the front is safe enough off road till it breaks and you are left with 2wd. on road is totally different, in 4wd you will have a hard time steering and turning and don't even try it if the road is wet or snowy because you won't turn at all. in 2wd it wont make a difference. i am a fan of fully selectable lockers for front and rear, but my front is still welded (i'm waiting till it breaks to change). a welded front is also hard on steering components.

 

the gashes in the carrier is from the pinon nut came off and let it fall and lock up. i got a lot of work to do. dont have

 

3.73 intermediate axles shouldn't be tough to find. Here in the NE, you could find a complete parts Jeep (rusting away) and take them. 3.73 is the standard and less desirable ratio; 4.27 was optional.

Fill in your profile - somebody near your location might have some axles for you.

 

Going the new route, gear sets will run about $125 each, install kits another $100 each, and new carriers will run about $45 each. Remaining parts (spiders, side gears, cross shaft) will probably go another $75. The rear would be cheaper to find used, the front would probably be cheaper to rebuild depending on labor costs. These prices are average for what I pay at Randy's Ring and Pinion for good parts.
