dont think he is polishing it just keeping it going due to lack of funds to replace it and all the extra costs that come with replacing said turd

Replacing the D35 is the best option, but the costs can get away from you (me). I got a low mileage Ford 8.8 31 spline disc brake Trac-Lok for $265. A conversion kit to the XJ is a further $200 plus post from the US. Then you need to re-gear the D30 to match. That's another heap of coin. Good idea to fit a locker while the front is apart. More coin. Why don't we re-gear both diffs while they`re out so we can run 33`s? good idea. more coin. I did some more research & found out about Mustang GT500 carbon fibre clutch packs & heavy duty F150 spring for the Trac Lok. Got to have that too...
I wish I had just polished the turd too...
cheers,
Rick

Ok so the mechanics verdict was that a full rebuild will cost me about $2500.. Once I picked myself off the floor told him to put the back cover back on and I will deal with it myself. Now looking for an open wheel (non LSD) centre and will fit a auto LOKKA. So over being ripped off ...

I would'nt be surprised if someone on here has a spare d35 hanging around that they would part with for a little bit of coin, will get you up to the cape cheap only a couple of hours work, also try eBay and gumtree?

You should be able to pick up a D35 for next to nothing, I sold a decent one for $90 a few years ago but others have given them away.

Cheers

I have a good one in SA. I can get $250 for it over there. Mine was rebuilt 18months before I bought a new 8.25. Mine was rechecked by the diff builder and is in good condition, I wouldn't sell it otherwise. However I would look around and place a wanted ad in the FS section. Someone on here, near you will be bound to have a decent one for sale. What ever you do don't get one from the wreckers as 99% of the time it will be F####.

Regards A
