I'm pretty sure the skids are gone. I have 3.55 gears. If I have the time, and if they are 3.55, is there a good chance it will it fit?

I'm going to take the chance on it, hopefully it will still be available in April. And if the LSD doesn't fit for some strange reason, I'll sell it here or craigslist. Someone will want it.

True. I just wouldn't put the added stress of an LSD on a D35.

X2, it would save you from pulling the carrier and swapping it. And you'd have extra shafts, spiders, ect.

Didn't you just have a "clack" problem? Nows it growling? Lol (maybe someone else)

Can you feel/hear where its coming from? A growl kind of sound like something in the diffs... just a shot in the dark there.

Good write up for doing 6.5"s speakers in the front doors and maybe bigger speakers in the trunk lid?

This will be for a 88 and 90 xj but theu should all be roughly the same i assume.

Drill pilot hole, screw it in. Maybe trim the metal a little depending on the actual speaker mounting width.
