Oh TJ drivetrain is pretty much identical to the XJs barring the stupid automatics and obvious wheelbase differences. 2.5L came with the AX-5 and NP231. On at least the 4.0 the engine block and accessory configuration is slightly different but that's because of different mounting. They certainly work the same. What year?

Nice. Rust specialties are the floors of the tub and front fenders... if those are clean then the rest of it probably is too. If you do the standard mods (4.0 TB for it lol) and get it running again you should indeed be able to make some dough

Im not even seeing 17" wheels in a 5on4.5.... Its a conspiracy.
The higher the number the less they stick out... So a 4" bs would stick out farther than 5". Isn't that correct or am I mistaken?

Btw this is on a 99 xj
Anyone have any suggestions?

You are correct sir. Stock wheels have 5" or 5.5" backspacing IIRC
