Okay, is there something technical you wanted to talk about or is this post just used for venting?

Maybe he's referring to this.

But that has nothing to do with the vehicle being a unibody. A Wrangler's front axle is virtually identical to an XJ's.

From reading that it sounds as if some u-joints are in order for the front axle......what's the big deal?

I only recently started doing the mechanical work on my XJ. D30 u-joints, wheel bearing assemblies, drive chain in the 242, replaced the exhaust manifold (ok that was bad).

All of it is really simple straight forward stuff.

Frankly now that I know it I am more inclined to buy another XJ instead of having to learn something else.
