The tires I have are ok, but the rims are 5 on 4.5 so jeep rims will fit. Does this XJ have a D44 rear for you to swap in? After you strip it down you could sell parts off on craigslist and ebay and could make some $$ of this.

This one just has a D35 again, but I have some feelers out for a couple 8.25 axles on the NAXJA board. I don't want to hang onto this for too long so I'm going to take off what I need and what other members need. I know Sandbox Sailor is looking for some parts for his XJ. Are there any junk yards in this area for me to search for a stock 8.25 axle?

i got my 8.25 for 125 from chuck and eddies. if you tell them that you dont care about application, or gear ratio then they'll let you go out and "pick one" just tell them that you need it to keep the junk driveable while you are building the rear. they're in southington and new haven.

Smith's 4x4 in New Franklin (about 30 minutes away) is pretty much a Jeep only junk yard. I have only been in the parking lot, but I have read on other forums that it is the place to go for Jeep parts. I plan on heading there sometime in the near future to get some parts.

I talked to a guy on Naxja and have a 8.25 out of a 99 XJ waiting on me in Guilford, CT. What's nice about the 99 is that in 97 they switched all of the 8.25 from 27 to 29 spline shafts so this will be about the strongest I can put in my Cherokee that will be a direct bolt in with no modications required. Comes with drums, pads and everything.
