Hello everyone, My jeep is starting to rust in spots and the paint is chipped. I want to repaint it. I have seen the rustoleum roll on technique and liked the simplicity of it, but I also have a full shop at my disposal (compressor, paint gun, sanders) and would like to use them. While doing...

I have hubs of of a 1996 2wd cherokee. I would like to put them on non disco D30 axle shafts (for spares). They wont seem to fit on, though. Is there any interchangability to them? Jesse EDIT-perhaps I need 96 shafts?
