What parts from ZJ to XJ?
I'm may be helping a friend out. He has a 95 ZJ v8.
It needs some TLC, but we thought we could part it out.
What parts would really come in handy for an XJ?
I was thinking of keeping the drive shafts, and coils.
Maybe the steering box. Any other things I should hang on to?

I know they have better Alternators.
ZJ V8 Tie rods are also a common upgrade.
I have GC seats in mine and they are really comfortable, the bolt right to the XJ seat bracket.

Rear disc brakes if you have a D35 rear axle. Master cylinder and booster are popular upgrades too.

This ZJ is missing the Master cylinder. The reason for parting it out.
Would the stock control arms be any longer than an XJ?

I was reading from the XJ write-ups. The front swaybar is also an upgrade over the XJs OEM thinner swaybar.

Got mine out of a 98, but will work from any 93-98 ZJ, just unbolt the seat and bolt it to the XJ bracket. I haven't done it with power and everything, but I know it can be done.
