Not bad. You can always convert it to 4x4. Just takes a little more work than a Renix. (Minor wiring)

i say get it. You'll put about $1000 into a 4x4 swap if you desire once you factor in the transmission, transfer case, driveshafts, and front axle. Still worth it if it's in good enough shape.

For all the work your going to do to it, you might as well throw in an 8.8 or something.

..unless he has a line on a TJ axle already.

I'm told the axles are the same width, but I think you'd have to move the coil buckets and shock mounts.

You can still use the suspension from the TJ, but i think it would honestly probably be cheaper in the long run to do a disc conversion on the 8.8, and just use the Tj suspension on it. Then again, i dont know much of coil conversions. So for all i know the TJ suspension could be far from what you need..

If I put pre runner fenders on my xj (has a 3") could I fit 35s under them?

Call rustys and ask them. I'm assuming your talking about their fenders?
