Advice on TJ purchase
I have been without my precious Rubicon for a year now. I have found an X running on 35s with 4.56 gears. What I am concerned about is the reliability of the rear axle ( still a dana 35 ) but they upgraded to chrome moly shafts and put in a detroit locker. I live about 7 miles from where I work and so it will be a dd during the warmer periods of the year and of course I plan on playing with it as well. Any thoughts?

If by Detroit and 30 spline c-clip eliminated chromoly shafts, then yes, it should be fine. What year and transmission?

02 with the nv3550. I've had the NV3550 in the 1st wrangler I had before upgrading to the Rubicon so I know is will hold up.

I was just wondering for the gear ratio. Sounds like it is pretty well setup. Find out which shafts it has (only superior has the c-clip eliminator.
