Like said above. I do know the ZJ box fits the XJ so it should work. I dont know what there is to gain by doing that though, care to elaborate?

its got a better ratio, basically steering is quicker lock to lock and the feel is much more responsive

Jnicewan I'm assuming you used the 98 -99 box without snowplow option like the other threads have made reference to.??? Also I read somewhere on some thread that at least one or two people have used a box from an S10, anybody have info on that. ???

my box is fine, but whenever I choose to upgrade, do these look the same exterior wise? I would buy a reman one and use my ZJ for a core
