Default Drive shaft help needed! ASAP

Thank you in advance.

Was out messing around today. Got caught on a log. No biggy. I was being very easy on the gas, just creeping, then.........


Drive shaft breaks in half because of the log that it was on.

Fortunately I had my high lift jack with me and a hand saw. I was completely high centered when the rear shaft broke. Used the high lift jack and front wheel drive to get un stuck.

Nursed it about 2miles with a bungee strap on the broken shaft.

So my question is. Will a 94 grand cherokee rear drive shaft fit a 00 xj?

Thanks again.

Well the grand Cherokee is 3in too long. Will have to try and find the right one. Called about 5 junk yards and no go.
