Get your friend to help you gear this sucker. Or as i said, use your gears in your broken axle to put in your new axle, if not yes. just grab the LP and remember to swap it before you wheel. lol

If YOU read you'd see I said the LP will work but why do a job twice when the HP swap is so easy.

He said he couldn't find a high pinion within 100 miles,plus he would want his xj back as soon as possiable like all of us would. I did read it I guess I also understood it to.

If you read more carefully, you'd see he said he couldnt find a HP D30 with the same gearing within 100miles. Hence why I said pick up the HP D30 you find and swap in all your components that will work. Very little cost yet the same time in the shop.
