Just wanted to get a idea from you guys what a empty front Rubicon front axle is worth

It is not bent and has roughly 28K miles on it

250 bucks sounds about right

Completely empty housing? No shafts, no locker, no gears? Steering knuckles? Hubs?

Has it been trussed or gusseted?

If not, and it is an empty housing, then $250 may be about right. Maybe a $450 max.

Current scrap metal prices. Maybe $10

If you were going tor rebuild a front rubi axle with used housing, $1000 for the locker $450 for knuckles, 150 for ball joints, 200 for shafts, 600 gears and labor. $2400. You can buy a brand new crate 44 for $1900. Kinda makes the weak factory housing worthless. I am really not sure who would build an axle out of one of these with the think tube and weak inner C.

Same thing I was thinking kind of silly but I have someone interested in mine when my PR44 shows up in a couple of weeks

He's offering $100

And yes it is a totally bare housing no nothing

It's worth money to someone with a bent one

there is a guy on here looking for a d30 housing that sounds like he would pay for it.

Problem is for someone to start a scratch build he should truss the D44 housing first before he throws a lot of money into internals. If he bent a D30 he will bend the D44 as well.
