I have those d35 parts if you want them, I acctually have a whole d35 sitting in my shed right now, I need to give the diff cover to Desert jewel, but you can have the guts... is yours open or limited slip?

Sure. I was at pik-a-part today looking for a D44 out of a XJ. Plenty of XJ's but no D44. Could'nt find an explorer or nothing. Let me take the cover off to make sure the gears are'nt shot as well. If that be the case I'll just upgrade.

The rockpile

Upon reaching the top of the ridge, some of the drivers of well-built rigs decided to try the rock pile:

Thanks for the outing. I enjoyed meeting everyone.

So I finally got around to popping off my dif cover to get the D35 shafts out and see what carnage was in there. Like I suspected, tore up the spider gears. Almost done putting my 8.8 (with 4.10's) in. Got a D30 with 4.10's gonna put in after I'm done with this.


I chopped the stock shock mounts to get a little more clearance too.
