i dont consider this tech so it's going here.

is it normal for a stock xj with a d35 to spin both back tires? in mud, on dirt, on pavement, my XJ spins both tires. i mean, i'm not complaining, but it doesnt seem normal...

if you have a trac lock (positraction) in your dana 35 and the clutches are in good condition, then yes.

maybe the PO threw a locker in there lol

i never even knew there was such thing as a d35 with a factory trac-lock.

i just hope that it will last long enough for me to pick up an 8.8, weld the spiders, and swap it in....

yup. have one myself as well. its a limited slip differential, so don't think it'll do anything.

A D35 with a locker? Sounds like some kind of evil lottery that will cost you more money eventually.
