The easiest would be finding a newer xj rear axle so its an 8.25 that had a 4.0 manual and bolting that in with the discs brakes from a zj or kj

Do you know what years are bolt on compatible? And as far as explorers go what years can I pull from there?

Locked diffs on a DD? Just Front and DD, or just rear? Can both be done and still be DD?

as far as lunchbox yep. for a nicer option I would go with a detroit for auto locking, or an Eaton E-locker for selectable. My 2 favorites, but In my xj I have a spartan in the back, and lock-right up front.
