People of Jeep community, My family has a '62 Willy's Wagon that is now my responsibility. It has broken its axle two or three times in 15 years ownership (not from off roading). Each time replaced with junk yard axles. I'm ready to toss some money at it and want a reliable axle in it. Do y'all think a NEW axle of the same design will be fine? OR do you feel there is a poor design in those years of Jeep that I should replace the rear end. It's more an issue for me because I was in it when it popped its tires and it has always been on the freeway or after just getting off. Thank you for any insight.

How do I find if my 2000 Jeep TJ has a dana 35 or a dana 44?

It will be stamped on the differential cover Dana 35 or Dana 44

Micah Your problem may be that when older 4-wheel drive vehicles are operated on paved surfaces torsional stress builds up this can damage your axles/differentials good luck

I have dana44`s out of a 74 or later wagoner offset pumpkins to right 30 spline axles putting in my 1955 Willy`s wagon and a 1987 258ci 6 but want to put disk brakes on all 4 corners with 5 on 5.5 pattern instead of 6 on 5.5 where would be a good place to check on these parts or what used parts can be swapped for this I`m thinking of line lock for Ebrake Thank you

I recently bought a dana 44 front diff that I was told was out of a wagoneer but when I searched the BOM number it shows it is from a 1981-85 J10, J20, or widetrack cherokee. What I am wondering is it the same dimension as a wagoneer axle, because it is an empty housing and I need axles for it.
