I was looking for some cheap spare axle shafts. Local junkyards are picked clean... Quick research says the 1992-1998 ZJ Dana 30 axles will work in the TJ Dana 30. Anyone know if this is true? Looks like I can get a brand new PAIR of axles for $110 online, so much cheaper than stock TJ Dana 30 axles around here. being as these are really just for a trail fix, I'm not really concerned with the shafts being weaker than the U-joint ones. Ideally they'll just sit in the back of the jeep and never get used lol.

Until you figure that out; another option is to have an assembled hub assembly and 30/44 outer stub shaft.
At the least, it might help get it off the trail.
