Got the offer of getting the axles and tcase off a old 4x4 transit
Think there D44 5.6:1 ish ratios 
Would they be any good for a jeep based pay day/ trial rig type project
As been thinking of making a cheap what i can find and beg rig for Sh**ts and giggles
some thing to experiment with and see what i could do

Since they are a dana they have always been considered for a replacement axle. Remember that it wont be a bolt on fit and these do come with a limited slip diff with some of the ratios. As for strength one would think they would be but there again the parts might be cheaper from the ford garage

Posted from my phone as its quicker than the pc connection

thanks
the not being bolt on will not be a prob

what year transit? Is it a county one? if so I think it has a dana front but a ford rear, chap at the B&B I used to use had one and said getting bits for both the front & rear was a pain, especially the front brake disks, think he was told by lighthouse there were only a few sets left for them

[bigjeepzj]

not sure what it is but i can have them for nowt

front axle is dana, outer knuckles are a county part with none standard hubs, if you can get jeep outers to fit it will be easier, plus i know where to flog the county outers

Me and the misses was looking at getting a 4x4 tranny (mk2 county) which needed some welding and brake work, we started pricing up the bits and stopped when we found out good 2nd hand discs were going for between £3-400 a pair and that was 3 yrs ago!!

Not sure if they are compatable but the transit front axle on Ebay awhile back looked to have flat top knuckles. These alone would be worth getting.
