I'm not positive, but it should work. I know for a fact that the only difference in the XJ gas tanks is the location of the vent tube. Basically the tanks have the same dimensions, but the 16 gallon tank's vent tube cuts it off at 16 gallons vs. the 20 gallon tank. The total capacity of these tanks is actually about 23-25 gallons depending on how well you modify the vent tube.

There's a write-up about it and a wealth of general XJ knowledge here: http://jeep-xj.info/HowtoFuelTank.htm

SWEET! Now you just gotta figure out if it has LSD, C-Clip or Non C-Clip, and what the spline count is... and of course the gear ratio - which will probably be 3.55

Well I know its a limited slip, I'm not sure about the c clip, I think the spline count is 29 if I'm not mistaken, maybe 27, and I believe they're 3.55s.

99 Purple XJ 07-24-2012 11:55 PM

Its a 29 spline c clip 8.25 all 8.25 are c clip

Basslicks 07-25-2012 12:36 AM

Yup... my bad... I was thinkin' of the D35 - those came in a non c version although rare and still crappy

griff98xj 07-25-2012 12:43 PM
