I have a 2001 XJ with a 4.0. Running 33"s and towing my boat wasn't working well for me so I swapped in a Ford 8.8 about a year ago. It's a night and day difference with 4.10 gears and rear disks. I've been off the trail for a year though because I would rather buy a front D30 or other axle already geared at 4.10 rather than set up gears or pay someone 700 bucks to do the job.
So I finally found an axle I think will work.
8953000394 '86-89 Cherokee, Wagoneer & Comanche 30 4.10 NL disconnect axle
Its out of an 86 Cherokee Pioneer with a 4 banger I found on my last junk yard trip. I dont think this axle is going to be around long and would like to go pull it this weekend. Before I do, anyone think this will work for a swap? I just dont know what the NL disconnect is referring to?
I am in no big hurry to get it swapped in, I want to take my time and build it right. New seals, maybe shafts, and who knows I may truss it since its a d30.. But I know someone else is going to pull this thing if I dont hop on it. Lemme know what you think.
