Greetings Houston XJ lovers. After careful thought I've decided to end the first xj build. I started it when i was young and only knew what i read on here. Most of the mods were cosmetic stuff to make it less aerodynamic anyways haha. Now my quality of work and concentration to details has increased and i want to take on a new project that will be clean and functional. I want to focus on the drivetrain and engine vs the offroad look. No settling for anything less. With that said, I'm selling the old black xj or parting it out whichever is easier for me. If anyone has interest just let me know. Also if you come across a Jeep (96+ GC with a v8, 91+ cherokee, or 91+ wrangler no 4 cylinders) for a decent price let me know as well.

All ford explorers 1991-2001 received the 31 spline 8.8 rear end. 96+ is preferable as they have disk brakes. Im not sure what all gear ratios were available but the 4.10 lsd would be a real catch

I found out what I was looking for. They are they same. They just look narrower. This one is disc with open 3.55, only paying 150 for it.

Nah there is a guy that got a fresh part out up on Huffmeister. I have to go pull it tomorrow. The thing looks ultra clean.
