That is actually the plan for my mailbox post. I need to find a few more broken axle shafts.
I have a couple busted carriers for the body and some 44 ring gears and pinions for the head and arms. Need some long shafts for legs.

^ you 2 are just different. I thought old hardware goes in the nuts and bolts bin. Never would make toys or yard art out of them.

So I have my old battery, which was fine when I pulled it out, yet had been sitting all winter. I'm too cheap to buy a charger.
So here's my idea:
1. Start good XJ
2. Drive it around so that battery is recharged from starting
3. Block something on the throttle for a fast idle
4. Jump extra battery to terminals of running XJ
5. Disconnect cables
6. Place recharged battery in bad XJ
7. Presto, two running Jeeps (maybe)
Does this sound reasonable? Problems I anticipate are the alternator trying to stall my Jeep when the flat battery is connected. Is there a risk of breaking things if I do it this way? Taking care to ensure the Jeep's not trying to charge two batteries at once. "Flat" battery reads 10V and only has enough charge to run the dome light.
