I'm heading to the junk yard today to see if I can find anything for the XJ. I recently read a thread about the Isuzu D44 being a good swap candidate, and was wondering what I should look for? (I guess there are different widths and whatnot)
Also, how difficult would it be to turn the 6-on-5 1/2 lug pattern into a 5-on-5 1/2? (I read something about redrilling and then adaptors or something, but have no idea what is involved)
I'm thinking this could be a cost effective solution to my current situation. I'm on 32s now, but will be going to 33s soon and possibly 35s later on, so a D44 would be awesome (plus more aftermarket support). Also, my rear drums kind of suck at this point, so discs would be a big upgrade. On top of that, if I can find one with 4.56s in it I'd only have to get the D30 regeared... which would be a lot cheaper.
