Can an XJ D35 go into a TJ? How hard is it to move the coil spring mounts?

Anyone got a 3:73 for a TJ?

If you're going to move coil spring and control arms mounts, move them to an axle worth installing.

Ford 8.8s are commonly available with 3.73s.

True dat yo.

Isn't an 8.8 5 on 5.5, Homey G??

Clicky..

Da loudness is in da hauz!

I blame the iPhone.

No.

5 on 4.5 as I recall.

Here's the story 97 TJ, recently repaired frame rot. 150k miles. Owned by young guy that works at the local hardware store. (not alot of $$). Thought he had a noise in the tranny or the clutch. I checked and it's definately in the rear end. It might be loose control arms, but sounds more like a ring and pinion noise to me.

What would you do to repair it?

Toss a used TJ axle in it.

wut kind of noise? Is it under load, over a bump, just after load release, in a box, with a fox?

I could not hear it at a stop, I could not hear it like a pop.
It sounded like a decent clunk, a noise that sounded "center chunk".
Release the clutch for first or second, the noise is there so I reckon.
In third or more, I did not check, but know its there sure as heck.

Suspension parts it sure could be, but the noise ain't tinny enough for me.
Ring and pinion clunk clunk clunk, I'm sure happy there's no skunk.
Remove the driveshaft is what I said, then you'll get it in your head.
For all the boys and all the Jeeps, this one's near being put to sleep!

Sheep leap to push the Jeep,
Sheep shove.
Sheep grunt.
Sheep don't think to look up front
Jeep goes splash!
Jeep goes thud!
Jeep goes deep in gooey mud!

Check the u-joints first.

I was think that and the suspension parts... thanks!

It brings tears to my eyes... That was friggin funnay!

Got a line on any? It's a 4.0l ax-15. I'm guessing 3.73s.

Should be a Dana 35 with 3.07s, which you can't swing a dead cat without hitting.

I might know a guy who may have just pulled one from his TJ.....

Sheep in a Jeep.

Nicely played.

lemme know... thanks

Dear heaven....it's HIM! HE pulled the axle from HIS TJ.

You know those software engineer types have to have everything spelled out to them.

Ended up being a control arm in the ass end...
