Default Axel housings

Considering upgrading to teraflex's axle housing. Is there a market to sell old dana44 housing?
Any good advice from anyone that has made the switch?

Yep I sold both of mine fairly quickly on Craigslist.
I sold them both for $800 (dana 30/44 loaded. I didn't reuse anything went to 60's)
Mine had 85 miles on them.
Good luck!

You won't have a problem selling it quickly at all!

Front 44 housings go quickly. Front 30s can be a pain to sell unless damage free or built well. Stock rear 44s can be tough as well because almost everybody has one. Rubi axles always sell though.

I would suggest cleaning up that housing as much as possible.

Getting rid of the rear D44 has been a pain in the ass. I've had mine up for sale for about a year with no serious inquiries.

That's crazy! I had a guy drive 5 hours to get mine for his TJ. (Stripped it down and added TJ brackets.)

Have you listed it? I sold mine before it was even off the Jeep. Got $700 for just the rear. Sold my front for the same amount to a local guy who was building a Ford Ranger mud truck. It was on Craigslist for all of two days.

Its just the area. Theres a bunch floating around phx. Just keep bumping the posts through the cooler months. Everyone seems to stop caring about Jeeping when its 100+ degrees out
