I tested out my 88 xj and my 97 xj a few minutes ago.

Powerbraking the 88 xj, only the 1 tire spun for me. Powerbraking the 97 both wheels spun the whole time no matter what I did. Im still a little confused on that. I would think that would me it has lsd/posi rearend but from that stamped plate on the rearend, and going by the numbers its not.

Weird deal.

I know this, I would love to be in your position right now, unless its a Lincoln locker. Sorry for the zero input.
