[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 429124, member: 18789"] CJs are just locking hubs. It’s basically a TJ front axle, except with locking hubs and the diff is passenger side. I’m not 100% sure why they went the CAD route, I believe it was for higher EPA ratings. Then they later saw how miserably it fails (many 87s were definitely failing by the time the 97 TJ came out in 96) so I’m guessing they deleted it for that reason, and especially after they realized it doesn’t really save any fuel anyways. The XJ followed a similar history except it ditched the CAD even earlier. They had a HP30 CAD from the 80s to early 90s, then had a HP non-CAD 30 from 92ish to 96, then 97-01 they used the same LP non-CAD 30 that the TJs used. [/QUOTE]
