Thanks, it gives me options to search for a deal.

Sorry, I have to take that back. XJ and YJ D30 gears are reverse cut.
Not compatible with your TJ.

.... but the good news is that a complete XJ D30 housing is a desirable
bolt in upgrade for your TJ:

http://www.4x4wire.com/jeep/tech/axle/tjhpd30/
http://homepage.mac.com/rv6a/hpd30.html

Around here XJs had D44 rears from '87-90 and then only rarely. Maybe
they're more common on Japanese models. If not, look for WJ, ZJ, and
Isuzu donors.

Sorry, but I have to say I think you need to recheck the validity of
this statement. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you
could get the Dana44 rear option seperately from the upgraded diff
gearing. And in 2001, the upgraded diff gearing would've been a 3.73:1
ratio.

So, I would venture to say either you do have 3.07:1 diff gearing as
you said, but with a Dana35c rearend, or you have the Dana44 rear as
you said, but actually have 3.73:1 diff gearing (which will definitely
be nicer when you decide on which larger tires to go with).
