if your saying you can crush them, i should have crushed them a long time ago from 4 wheeling mine and bashing the axle off of rocks.

No, the vast majority of ALL XJs have D35s. Yes some did get 8.25s and D44s.

YOU ARE WRONG! I've worked on XJs and have friends with XJs, 2 of them have 95s and they are both D35s and one has a 97 with a D35.

Straight from Wikipedia.
  • 1984 – 1989 : Dana 35, non c-clip, with anti-lock braking system (ABS) or non-ABS.
  • 1990 – 1996 : Dana 35, c-clip, ABS or non-ABS.
  • 1997 – 2001 : Dana 35, c-clip, ABS.
  • 1991 – 1996 : Chrysler 8.25", c-clip, non-ABS, 27-spline axleshafts.
  • 1997 – 2001 : Chrysler 8.25", c-clip, non-ABS, 29-spline axleshafts.
  • 1987 – 1990 : Dana 44, non-abs, 30-spline axleshafts.

Not arguing with you, simply correcting you. I've been in the off-road scene for a while now, I think I might know a thing or two.

Razor, dont leave the website.

Big deal if you argue with someone on it, its how you dig up the truth. Arguments are the best when it comes to this sort of stuff!

Hang in there!
