Building My JK Rubicon Axle Swapped Cherokee XJ in 6 Minutes

It’s finally done! This is all the footage I had on my swap I just compressed it into 6 minutes for you all! As some of you know I have been building my overland wheeler XJ by swapping Dana 44s out of a JK rubicon. It’s been an awesome adventure and thank you to all my supporting sponsors I could not have done this with out you all! Also thank you to everyone who has stuck around to watch, I can’t wait for the future of this channel. Hope you enjoy.

What kinda steering box did you use ? And steering ? Is the throw on the Jku axle wider then the stock Xj ?

[@vwfanatix]

Nice job. I wanna use it for my 01XJ, but i don't know how ABS work on JK. In our country is street ilegal drive without ABS :(

[@andrewholland3311]

is this a hard swap to do? ive been thinking about swapping my xj but i dont know what to do. is there any tips you would give for when or if i do this

[@jcjeeps]

Yea I would be happy to help, it def was a lot more work and money then I thought lol my next video will be a cost break down and a parts list of everything I needed for the swap!

[@Tylerjschmidt]

What did the front axle come out of?

[@BenTheJeepGuy]

What filler rod did you use when you TIGed the cast center section?

[@jcjeeps]

Gosh it’s been so long I can’t remember lol

[@BenTheJeepGuy]

@@jcjeeps well if you happen to remember, let me know! I hear there is a filler rod that doesn’t require preheat for cast so I’m really hoping to figure out which one it is for when I build my front D44

[@JAVR09]

35’s or 37’s?? Which ones are better for overlanding?

[@jcjeeps]

Depends on the vehicle, if it’s a Cherokee 35s would be best for long distance overlanding

[@cherokeerossaltillo3467]

How did you install the switch to activate the lock?

[@jcjeeps]

I wired it into the dash with the Dana spicer wiring kit.
