Hi-Way 9 transport. Ifyou try DHL or purolater or even the Greyhound you'll get hammered for oversize plus over weight.

why would you ship a D35? the shipping is definitely worth more than the axle....................

It would be cheaper to find a Dana 35 in Saskatoon. They really are not worth much. It wouldn't be worth the shipping costs!

Because I have not found one in Saskatoon and if I did the price here would be between 500 and a thousand as one guy on Kijiji had a wrecked 2000 hit in the front with a bent frame he wanted 800 just for the bent frame.  Too expensive for me. Lots for YJ but no TJ.

don't waist money on a D35 man... look for something else.... ford 8.8 out of an explorer, ford 9, Dana 44... even a Chrysler 8.25

Why a 35? are you looking to just to replace your stock axle? If you are offrading that jeep.. don't put a 35 in it.

That's my 2 cents

I bought a tj frame and now installing the drive train from a Grand Cherokee with a ho engine.  The complete front bolted in but the rear arms are in the wrong position.  I did not want to change mounts so I am just looking for a TJ rear.  I do some off roading but only run 31 inch tires.  A dana 35 is no problem  Finding a 44 here would be like making a car payment.  Everyone from Saskatchewan thinks their things  are gold.  I have looked for an explorer rear but only found older ones with drum brakes.  Too much work to change the mounts.
