Well the XJ is having front driveshaft problems, might be questionable but I am trying so dont count me out.

I meant to quote this sorry. If you need a front DS I may have one in the garage. Lemme know what you need
You might have this, the u joint going into the t case and the part (I forget the name right now) that the 2 u joints go into to. The little I guess you would call it, ball bearing fell apart and all the needle bearings fell out. Xjay98 if you have an extra driveshaft, I got nothing going on Friday, let me know. Here is a picture of it.

It basically that assembly minus the #2 u joint.

Its called a centering ball, yeah it was completely shot after I took the #2 u joint out. If you have an extra one, that would be awesome.

I think you can get that at Napa. I thought I rebuilt one a while back. I'll look in the garage tomorrow. If not i will snag the whole DS off of my coworker's non-offroad XJ. I think they all had the double cardan front DS right? If we cant meet up on Friday we'll toss it on Sat before the run. Shoulnt take long to install.
Does the ZJ have the same front DS?

Yeah went to Napa, 70 bucks for the centering ball and thats just for that, then like 30 for the u joint, if all else fails I will throw down the money for that but kind of dont want to and the dumbasses at autozone didnt even know what I was talking about and brought them the whole assembly, some dude told me it was a ford driveshaft and I was like, "no dude, its off my Cherokee" and he is like, "well you driveshaft is from a ford", I hate Autozone, they suck. Anyways, totally up to you man, would love to hit the trails with everyone on Saturday. The ZJ, I havent checked that, might have to do that. Let me know man, and thanks.

Yeah thats why I order stuff from Summit and JCwhitney when I need brakes, etc. But Xjay98 if we set something up, what do you want for the driveshaft?

Finally got my skid plates back on … YAY. But, I don't know how well my rig
will handle with 50% treads left. It is going to be very sloppy from the rain last
night and the rain in the forecast. I really want to go, but I hate to get stuck
due to lack of tread…I really need new tires.

Don't worry about your tires. When I first got my jeep it only had about 25% tread on the stock tires. I had a blast wheeling at the Cliffs and only needed to be helped a few times. You'll do fine and if you get stuck we'll have plenty of help to get you out. If I don't get stuck at least once a trip I wasn't trying hard enough.

50%? I've never been to the Cliffs but I wheeled all last year at Badlands with bald Claws. An ant was taller than the center lugs! You got this, SwiCago! There will be plenty of rigs out there to pull you in case.

Thanks for the words of encouragement guys…I know my Rig is heavey, so I'll probably get stuck…and then I am sure I'll get the ol' jeep pulls out FJ jokes LOL … Guess that is part of the fun ;)
Anyways, I hope to make it out…and I hope it doesn't rain like the forecast says it will. It's more fun when you can stand outside and bullpoop, instead of hiding in your rig from the rain.
