Question, is it worth upgrading the 30 and 35 with gears/lockers/axles or just building up JY housings? The 8.8 upgrade is to gain higher spline count and the possibility of better gearing right? I wouldnt mind reconditioning a JY housing to save money I just dont want to re-engineer the ABS system onto the new housing.....

actually frosty, what I can really use now is a pair of drive shafts. I want a pair to blast and powder coat and press new joints in to replace the ones under mine. Looks like the PO did some beaching and salt water driving and didnt bother to wash it off. It is some of the worst rust I have ever seen.

So I officially drive a 2wd Cherokee now. I'm in the process of rebuilding and painting another front drive shaft. The worn uni joints sounded horrible and was producing horrible vibes so I just took it out. I can't drive in 4wd anyway, until I replace the bent transfercase linkage. I guess while I have all that room under there I better bedline.
i am still driving 2WD because of the joints in my driveshaft. some shop downtown wants about $275 to rebuild. i got the rear done by them and they did a great job but i dont have the money to kick out for the front yet.
and i pulled a powersteering pump from the junk yard that is waiting to go in.
anddddddd..... nothings wrong with my TC ...yet... lol.
