Default xj/mj axle swap dilemma!!!!

i am building a comanche for my trail rig instead of my cherokee. i have a build thread titled Misfit Mancheese in the builds section. i have made the cherokee to nice and hate breaking and denting it all up. the mj is already kinda beat up so i wont have much reguard for the body.....at least every thing but the cab!!

so im debating on pulling the full widths out of the xj to put into the mj. i dont see a reason to have two full width vehicles.

what would you do?

The strength of the 9" and HP44 are what a trail rig needs and are overkill for a DD or ocasional use rig.

Just swap the axles, and bash the MJ on the trail with your full widths. They are already set up, and ready to swap. Save the money you'd spend on different axles, and regear your FWs!! You KNOW they need it!!

Hurry up and try to get your girl pregnant between now and April. If that doesn't happen, then swap the FWs into the MJ.


I voted for swapping, and also building the 8.8 for the xj. So plentiful, so cheap.
