Ok so get this. I built a couple jeeps (still doing a cj5) but i had a built cherokee as my dd. It was a full out build and i had plans of putting in larger/stronger axles and steeper gear ratios. So i went to the pick and pull and snagged an Exploder (yes i ment to spell it that way) 8.8 axle with a posi lock for $100. it was nearly a bolt in for a cherokee minus some leaf perches.

Well the jeep was doomed by a 16year driver and a street light pole, took it clean out of the ground lol. so now im sitting on this axle which is half apart and i got this dim/bright? idea of changing out the 3.73 and posi and putting them in the stang? thoughts?

Get some 31 spline chromo's for the stang and use the posi out of the Exploder because it is factory 31 spline.

I see you've got a 95 XJ coool! So you'r refering to the the axle shafts correct?
How many spline is the mustang?
Can i use the Exploder axle shafts?
If i just took out the diff internals in the explorer and put them in the stang will they match up with the mustang pinion gear?
