ZJ Rear Ends
I'm looking at maybe buying a '95 V8 for $800. Runs but he says the rear end locked up a few months ago. Haven't gone to check if it's a 35 or 44a. I searched and it's telling me neither rear end is very good. I couldn't find much on swapping in an 8.8. Are these worthwhile offroaders? Or should I just keep looking for another XJ?

not too wise to lock the 35, tires are alright as long as you dont beat on it too hard. if you know youre going to be wheeling the **** out of it. look into a 44 or 8.8, or even better 1-tons =]

I don't believe the 44a's started until '96. I've had several and never seen a 44a in anything earlier. According to Dana it was only used in the '96 and later Grands.

don't mean to intrude on your post (well actually I do, sorry) just wondering if you guys could see what rear end this is. 94ZJ V8. I thought it was a dana 35 but some guy said it wasn't because of the orange gasket on it??

Seems like a good shot of some different axles.
