"Jared L" (the "J" in JZLA) inspired this article after we saw this in AZ this summer.

Saw this in local FB. For when you want Jaguar vibes with the same "reliability" at a fraction of the cost......

That’s easily worth more than $900 of fun though!

this one is pretty brilliant.  when you want to get rid of the corpse of a rig in your driveway, but you only have 3 wheels for it...

Just discovered its possible to mount an NP207 out of an XJ in a divorced configuration. Just got to hack the output shaft off the end of the XJ's transmission and weld it to a driveshaft flange:

 

And then come up with some sketch mounts.

 

 

And don't forget the shift linkage.

 

 

This whole thread is pretty sus. It started out just a guy putting XJ axles into a Lada Niva, originally IFS, and just snowballed. Although it is in French.  http://nivaventure.free.fr/Texte/Equipements/Ponts_rigides_Jeep/Ponts_rigides_Jeep.htm

The Niva is already 4x4 with a divorced tcase so it's not as outlandish as all that in this specific context, but I guess there's no reason this couldn't be done to any rear drive trans... no reason other than good judgement.

Pretty sure @kastein had something like this, but I think his was a little classier.
