Would axles from a burned jeep be usable

[fourwheelinj1]

Looking at a set of axles from a rubicon. The jeep had an engine fire and the the engine compartment and entire body is toast. Any chance the differential and locker in the front would survive unharmed? I know the balljoints, bushings etc are toast but would the differential oil keep the rest cool enough ?

I would think you'd have to open it up, to know. And the axle tubes might have warped too. Just depends on how much heat & how long!

I bet the tubes, and c,s are warped, I'd walk away

Well, least they were heat treated lol.
Sorry couldn't resist it.
Carry on.

These guys are dumb. Everybody knows heat rises. I bet those babies were cool as cucumbers.
