The stock tie downs were falling apart, so I came up with these. Much more stout and not like that folded piece held in by a plastic rivet. And these go thru the stock floor as well as the frame rail.

I opened up the stock holes to 3/8", put a bolt in with the stud facing up and installed the clamp.

Still have the 30/35 diffs. The t-case is close but don't know how close it is vs stock. I had a driveshaft made since it has a SYE on it. Had a front shaft made too. With a 9" and a 208, the shaft will be a guess. Odds are you will have a shaft or two made for yours.

Nope. Stock parts. It was S-10 sourced. An Advance Adapters shaft kit in the T-350 trans and everything is happy.

Talking Like your build

I like your build.

I haven't been on the forum for a long time so had to get a new username but worth it to catch up on the builds forum section.

Hope you don't mind me sticking up a pic of my last XJ project tourer now it's finished
