Ola, Don! not sure if you're asking about XJs or Grand Waggys; Donald can probably tell you more the Waggys than i can. if looking for an XJ (labeled as Cherokees, Laredos, Wagoneers, Pioneers, and more depending on the whims of the marketeers), i'd want: - the 4.0L engine; one of the longe

hi Clay! can you expound some more on what BiL's doing? never heard of anyone taking anything off of an Exploder to put on an XJ except for the rear disc brakes, and that doesn't have anything to do with the gearing... likewise, what exactly are you talking about WRT the T'Case? "the se
