Default 96 xj rear end
Just bought this 96 xj and was wondering how to tell what rear axle it has in it. By the way my first "car" was a 74 cj5 and 15 years later I'm glad to be back in the jeep club!!!!

post a pic of the diff cover. If it has ABS it is a Dana 35 if it doesn't its either a Dana 35 or Chrysler 8.25.
