Yikes. Just a friendly reminder that doing your research and checks pays off.
Your best bet would be to toss it up on craigslist and wait. I'm sure with enough time you could get it back!

Personally (Unless you really need the cash) I would keep it and do any upgrades to the spare one. Easier to do with it already off and not have your XJ down while you do the upgrades. Or keep it for parts.

pull the axle shaft or if you pull the diff cover you might be able to count the spline count in the spider gears i just dont know if you can see in there good enough to count them

If the axle came out of a 97 or newer XJ than it's a 29 spline, which is the stronger of the two. If it came out of a 4 cylinder with 4.10 gears, I'd be interested in it, otherwise I'd rather wait to find one with 4.10s and/or locked.
