...it may be better for me to get axles from the junkyard with the gears i want as opposed to buying new ones and installing.

so, to be clear i am looking for front and rear axles off other vehicles with stock 4.88 gears that will fit on a 2001 xj.

no, closest i can think of is a 4 banger yota, with tow package, 92+ those are only 4.30
and still need a front end..and fabrication skills

scratch that first post, what gear ratios are semi's running, plus then you get sweet 2 speed rear end. :roflmao::piratefla
 
Unimog axles + 2x4's + railroad ties = perfection.




oh. nope nothing will be that easy welcome to the world of XJ's :)
 
1 ton axles may have 4.56's but lots of fab has to do with it. so the answer is no. there are no axles that have 4.88's that is a stright bolt up to an XJ.
 
here are cheap options i was gonna go with if i didnt get gears and lockers in axles for cheap:

4cyl manual xj 4.56(hard to find though, ive never seen em at a junkyard)
4cyl yj or auto xj 4.11
look for a 8.8 31spline with 4.10's.
yota v6 rearend with 4.11's
keep your eyes on local for sale forums adn craigslist for deals

why so deep to 4.88s??
i like mine but i would have been more than happy with 4.11s for 150$ an axle from the junkyard....
plus the small pinion gear....
my old build was gonna be a 8.8 or yota v6 with 4.11s and a 4 cyl front with 4.10s and aussies to keep it cheap and relatively easy.
