Thanks fellas. It is a fun Jeep. The exhaust is stock with a Flowmaster 40 series. The W has a 4.7 V8 too. Only bad thing about wheeling a WJ over a XJ is when this happens nobody has the parts to fix it on hand.

The short answer is no you can't.
There are a lot of differences between the WJ knuckle, tone rings, unit bearings, and spider gears. That prevent the use of the XJ shaft.
There is a kit to upgrade to the u-joint style shaft but it is $900.
Like I said when this happened. At least now I know where my weak point is in my front end. If I upgrade with alloy shafts and ox u-joints where does this move my failure point? Either the spiders, carrier, or the R&P. All of which will end your weekend right there. New axles are relativley cheap at $70. You can pick up a used set for spares even cheaper.
I will keep changing axles at this point.

Nice Bo! You're lucky there were no beer cans out there to get hung up on.

The WJ D30 is wider than the XJ D30 so that's going to be the biggest stopping point.
