Any axle you pick up should get a thoughrough going-through before you slap it under your rig. New seals, brake-check, new fluids, cleaning, painting all surfaces, etc.
Mileage shouldn't really be that big a concern. I would be more concerned with what axle is going under. Any reason you are looking at 8.25 versus 8.8 or 44's or 9" or 60 or...?
I am on pirate, Jeep Forum, Jeepin.com, Jeeps Unlimited, Colorado4x4.org, NAXJA, IFSJA, and a few scout boards.
the only places I still go is pirate to lurk, JF or naxja for searches, or here to post.
The key is to know your location.
Over at pirate, you are walking with the big dogs. They started the rockcrawling comps. They orchestrate most of the events. They are the competitors. They run the companies we buy all our products from. You can't run with the pro's and ask what size tires fit on your stock 2007 Compass...
Here, we are single-make focused, and welcoming. Different mission, different crowd.
I disagree. The changeover was partway through 94 or between 94 and 95.
My 94 XJ's 231 (which is the original one it came with from the factory) does NOT have a true neutral. And not having a CAD, it cannot be towed on a dolly without pulling a drive shaft.
Double checked my sources, and you are correct. 95 was the changeover year. Before that, its really hit or miss with no rhyme or reason. Some are, some aren't.
I had a 79 Scout II with an 8 track, floor mounted hi-beam switch, and I think vacuum wipers too (maybe).
It was manufactured 2 years before I was born.

Found this one on car-part.
Trans fluid depends on what you have.
AX-15 uses 10w30 motor oil.
BA 10/5 calls for 75w90 (GL-5)
AW4 uses Dexron/Mercon
a904 uses ATF+4
use accordingly....
That's fantastic. ;)
While it may have been found "in" a renix jeep, it was under the seat and not attached to anything. Therefore, it could be from anythnig or anywhere, and not necessarily a part for this particular vehicle.
I have been using it as a DD for the past few months. Prior to that, its primary function was a tow vehicle for my camper. I will be selling this truck/camper combo to a fellow CC member in the near future, and want to get the truck as prepped as it possibly can be (he will be flying in and making the 1,300 mile drive home)
It will reduce on-road sway, but will also cause the vehicle to understeer more. It will also stiffen up offroad travel unless you have swaybar disconnects.
There are three or four sizes of swaybar diameter, and there wasn't much rhyme or reason or steadfast rule to what came with what. They all will interchange, as long as you get the bushings that go with that diameter bar.
