Offroad use is not a current activity but it will be next summer.

Ok checking on those tools ....
I have a 1/2" drive 13mm socket that is a 12 pointer.
Need the 36mm hub nut socket ---- get that this morning.

Seems simple enough .... what could go wrong?


Autzone is OUT

Advnaced doesn't seem to have the complete assembly, just CV Boots and Joint rebuild kits.

Maybe I should go to the JY and just pull out two front axle assemblies from a U-Joint ZJ ...... can I assume if from the same you they should slide right in ?????



EDIT: Found the CV axles on Advanced!

grab them from an XJ without the vacuum disconnect front axle. They'll fit the ZJ d30 without issue, and give you shafts you can just change the ujoints on. 97+ XJ shafts would be preferrable

remove the rear sway bar and throw it in the trash. It does nothing except limit the rear flex. You won't even notice it gone

Many XJs didn't have them from the factory. They can't fail you for not having it.
