if you can't find a used one, there is always this option
 
Note: The housing is based on a ford 9" so the center is oval vs round.

this example is setup for links but the center part is obvious

But it is an option!
 
There are much better options for that kind of money, unless you are doing a restoration.
 

I guess I’m prejudiced,,,that just canceled me out right there .

That's a dumb reason. If you wanna cancel the thing, cancel it over it's 4400 buck price tag. That's less shipping. That's a legit reason.
 
when I saw the picture I thought 9" but read and it said 8-3/4. guess if it can be made into dual fitment, saves money for development.
I think it's a smart business decision. I'm glad to see it. Gives us Mopar guys another option......although an expensive one.....but what isn't anymore?
 
For that much money, I'm buying a JY Dana 60 and cutting it down. JMO

Way to much money for a set up that will spit the bit from ring gear deflection.

I cannot disagree. You can buy a D60 ready to go cheaper from what I've seen. But you can certainly build one up a lot cheaper like you say.
 
Cutdown a C body housing, weld it up and save 2600$
 
My bolt in ready Dana I just bought from Doctor Diff, powered coated, rear disc brakes with emergency brake cables, S-Trac sure grip, pinion snubber, with shipping was cheaper then that 8 3/4.

Ya they have a great idea there, even for the money, but with 3 more dies they could make the center 8 3/4 shaped even if they weld it together like a 9" vs an 8 3/4" but that would cost another 50- 100k for the molds and if they sell 100 per year at 4000 per unit (their profit might be 1000) it would take them 50 to 100 years before they pay off the dies.

Lol,,,
I meant canceled me on the idea of it being a good piece to own,,,,I wasn’t going to buy one .
It’s a figure of speech,,,,,can no one even joke around you ?
What a piece of work !

Ok, so I'm a piece of work because I couldn't read your mind over the internet and tell you were joking? Yeah ok. Why don't you think on that awhile?
 
Lol,,,come on man,,,,lighten up .
There’s no reason to get upset about anything.
I always try to take people as they were joking about most things here .
Until they call names and such ,,,,then it’s personal,,,just like real life .
