so i stumbled across the unicorn of factory jeep parts today in the junkyard.

2.5 automatic XJ




and the proof, upper left hand corner of the tag, reads 4.56



too bad its a disconnect dana 30 front and dana 35 rear. this is the first time i've ever seen this factory gear ratio though

diego94

did you pull them, someone will buy those off you

CheapCherokee

nope, its not half day for a while and they want $200 and axle. $400 for a disconnect 30 and dana 35 doesnt sound very appealing haha. i will gladly tell anyone in SoCal which junkyard you could find the XJ in.

diego94

400 hahahaa, I can see the front being worth that to someone out there but that's a knee slapper lol

Kris smith

what yard is it in ?

You could sell that rear end to a YJ guy real quick like.

YJ's are SUA and they hate D35's also

xj_maniac_newb

Lots of YJ guys swap to SOA to get the lift they want, and they're alot more likely to buy a D35 than a cherokee owner. Just because they're already used to having one.

These axles would be just fine for a light to moderate wheeler, keep in mind the D35 is non c-clip so you wont spit a shaft.

i would almost kill to find a set of 4.56's at the u-pull yard here. $75 an axle here

XJwonders

It's 25 per axle here lol

CheapCherokee

must be nice. like i said earlier, $200 a pop out here in SoCal

half day is the only time its worth it

Tamadrummer

I'm going to the junk yard tomorrow on a search for axles, maybe I can get lucky

And you aren't snatching EVERY 8.8 out to resale? $100 at Harbor Freight for a small generator and $50 for a decent angle grinder would let you chop u-bolts all day long. Heck, set them up with perches and shock mounts for an XJ and you'd be making even more money...
