Default is it time to part out my cherokee? pics inside



driveshaft shakes like crazy on highway, i can wobble it on the output shaft with car on lift. doesnt seem like its slid far enough forward.

D/S ANGLE
ROTTED FLOORS




BENT LEAF SPRING, MISSING LOWER LEAF FROM CRACKING AROUND BLOCK, AAL TO FIX MISSING LEAF, LIFTED REAR ABOUT 2 INCHES.

LOOK close you can see the bent front diff looks like the ball joint knuckles wasted

prior owner replaced u joints, 12k later, the cap flies out, and I'm stuck with this carnage

overall, it needs floors, a front diff, maybe a d/s, a fuel tank, turn signals dont work, needs longer studs, I'm losing motivation with this thing its one thing after another. Fix or part out?

Should I just buy a parts jeep? fix all the problems and keep it going? Its rough. I love XJ's if i get rid of it i'd probably get another so don't worry. I sell scrap, even scrapped the cat and ran a test pipe for money on the new u joint shown in the pic and a few other odds and ends. This thing is starting to dip into my wallet too much.
