Re: jacking my XJ
I bash my axle tubes on rocks all the time. I also jack right from the
center of the diff a lot. Hell you can drill a hole in your front axle tube if you want (ok well I wouldnt). Its dry past the diff. (seals are in the diff) You can also jack from under the lower control arm brackets usually. The bumper is made of tin foil I think.

Re: jacking my XJ
Unless you have some sort of reinforcement, I wouldn't jack your vehicle
from the center pumpkin. The leverage on the axle tubes is too great and you could bend them enough to cause future trouble, especially if you have a d35c, which has smaller tubes than the d44. Try the spring perches (is that the right term?) and the control arm attach points (whatever they're called) in the front.

Re: jacking my XJ
2000 owners guide says to use the tube closest to the wheel.
