Didn't see anything about drive-shafts that can fit so I figured I would post this in hopes it will be added. Really useful in my opinion

I knew I had that wrecked 93 Grand (ZJ?) sitting in my yard for a reason. I already did the gas tank skid plate, but looks like it has more to offer.

Forgive me for not reading through 151 pages to answer this but has anyone mentioned the Volvo locking diff for a Dana 30? Because that is most defintely a thing.

I am not sure if it's in here, but I have read about the Volvo D30 thing. It's a limited slip. I don't believe it's a DIRECT swap and a little work is involved. Might want to Google that one, I don't think it was on CherokeeForum that I read it.
