Well, I did a axle swap in the spring. I have a High pinion D-44 from a 78 Ford F-250 with 5.13's "gears" & A LIMMITED SLIP. Stock shafts & a Rubicon Express axle mount kit mixed with some custom mounts. The rear is from a 78 Ford F-150 Ford 9" with a Detroit Locker & 5.13's & 31 spline shafts. The motor "only for a few more weeks" is stock & is going to be replaced with a 03' Grand Cherokee motor with under 50,000 miles on it. :armsup: The trans is OEM from the start the "said to be junk" Pugoe,pugot,pewukeit?" It has done well for as hard as I run this rig & will last one more run if I get the time. The T-case is stock with one rebuild on it & "NO" SYE or C.V. shaft in the mix. The Long Arm kit was the first fabd on a XJ here in Alaska & a few have followed the steps I have taken to gain such a nice ride for road & trail. My tire size now is 38/12.5/15 TSL Bias ply's. I air down to 8pounds & let it fly. The new axles are only 2" per side wider over the factory set. I started with the rear D-35 & front HP D-30 & the rear lasted about 2 months on 35's. From that point the rear was swaped for a D-44 from a 87 XJ & it lasted about 3 years till I busted the Ring & pinion pulling a few rigs out of some bad trails. This has been just as good a rig or better than my CJ-5! I can haul 500 lbs of gear at speed & feel god doing it. I hope to keep posting pics as I do my motor swap & will show you guys a few more things I have in mind for it. oh, This is a 87XJ.

Oh, I am sitting at about 11-12"s of lift at this point & don't want to go higher. The XJ also sports a 8274 winch. The best IMO. :armsup:
