Exactly.... OP, I think your best bet is to try and find a part-out on CL and use the main from that.

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.

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.
