I'm not worried about the structure of the XJ unit body, I argue that there's no actual advantage here. If you want to hack up an XJ for better mileage, kamm the tailgate a little and then focus on the pair of live axles and the maze underneath the machine that air has to battle going from the front to the back, not to mention the front diff that's always spinning because there aren't any disconnectable hubs (even on CAD models the diff's still being spun by the driver side tire)
