Excellent. Thank You Gentlemen! :) I'll be going with the greasable since this is basically a moderate resto truck not a full build.

Went out on my 1988 Comanche with a 2.5L/4spd. Not sure if that matters. I know that the rear axle is a D35 though Anyone know the replacement number I need?

Looking for the driveshaft lengths of the Cherokee. I have a Comanche and don't have a front driveshaft. The gap measures at 26.5" from the centers of the spider journals.

I have a Hobart 140 MIG. It's a nice piece and I've been able to weld 1/2 inch steel (1/4" from one side, then from the other side) I'm not saying it's a huge pain I just simply don't want to dick with it at all if it's not a bolt in. (for now...)

It's a 2.5 :( Yeah I could SUA the 8.8 but without the lift i wouldn't go to bigger tires and the D35 is gonna be fine with 31s.

I'm not looking to break records here or anything lol Just hoping to have a decent truck (to use like a truck) with the ability to go on mild trail rides for fun. Currently have 31" BFG AT on Canyon wheels and they don't rub at full articulation. So I can't justify a big lift unless it just...

That's what she said... :clap:

I even have a pretty good welder but I'm not interested in any modifications on this vehicle that won't bolt in. SOA is a 4.5" lift though, right?

And that's what I was afraid of... Ugh. OK... well no loss since I didn't buy it yet. I never really was looking for a hardcore Comanche anyway

Sorry I should have mentioned my intentions. I have a friend with a 8.8 in His XJ and he is going to convert to a D44 now. SO the 8.8 is cheap (with 4.10s) :) (I was just using the D35 as an example, sorry)

Can I use an XJ axle to swap my MJ to a Spring over? I am not talking about welding perches etc... I'm talking about using the axle out of an XJ exactly how it is... SWAPPED, not converted.?.?.? Thanks in advance

Heck of a price for a classy modified XJ. Probably more of a small trail rig vehicle but man I bet it's smooth and that power makes it nice to drive to work! :)

Looks like a killer deal!

The price isn't 'bad' but in the economy people are pricing low... really low right now. So you have heavy competition. Plus a whole ton of buyer just got out of clunkers and into monthly payments. All considerations, your XJ is clean! Worth it? Yes. Sell for it? Probably not. Reasons: 'I'...

Threw a little PB blaster in there and turn clockwise... no problem! :) My problem was that I kept pushing it in and turning. I thought it would lock with the button down.
