Does the housing need strengthening? The XJ has a Dana 35, so the words polishing and turd come to mind...

Easiest would just be to leave it stock and swap to a D44 as sonn as possible.

As I understand it the biggest problem with Semi-float D35s is the chance of snapping an axle shaft and losing a wheel. There is no easy fix for this ap[art from fitting something bigger and stronger.
