Title: Scout II axles
Post by: larhan on June 26, 2006, 07:28:48 PM

I was wondering if anyone knew whether 44's from 80 Scout II would fit my 94YJ.  thanks

The rear will work BUT you'll have to get the rears redrilled for 5 on 4.5" rather then 5 on 5.5".  Width wise, it's fine.

The front won't work unless you have a passenger side drop transfer case.

Not to mention the Scout front 44 is a poor choice due to 0º caster, you'd have to have the knuckles cut, rotated, and welded to have proper handling.

Take a look at a Waggy front and rear D44 from late '80s or '90s, or a Waggy front D44 and an Isuzu rear D44, this will give you matching 6-lug axles and 4whl disc brakes.
