I couldn't put a non functioning hatch back on a chopped XJ.

I am a fan of the PBR myself. Too bad they don't make one in a 38-40 that isn't 16.5" wide. I'll be running a 38.5x14.5x16.5 SX

Well even if it did open up, its would be pretty pointless, theres no storage left back there.

I bought a 14 bolt rear lol. Wasn't even planning on it until at least spring time and after I bought a DD. Well my buddy calls me and says he knows a guy that does government work and he had a brand new 14 bolt out of mid 2000 3/4 ton suburban. It had only 23 miles, 10.5 inch ring, 4.10 gears, disk brakes, ebrake and every single line on it.

I bought I for $250..

Probably a 1410. Find a 1350, run a conversion joint, stretch the rear 3-4", and run it.

So now we got another deal. The guy that picked it up for me has a blazer on 37s. He's got an older 14 bolt with disc brakes and brand new Yukon 5.13s. He says if I give him 200 he'll take the newer axle and give me his. Only deal is I'd really rather have the ebrake..
