thanks thats exactly what i wanted to know

that would require me to remove the transfer case and take it apart. will the newer tailshaft fit the old style 231?

so the actual splined output shaft is different? (i know theyre all 27 spline) or is it just the tail cone? basically i want to know if i can go to the junkyard and get just the tailcone off of a 95+ 231 and put it on my 92 231 to avoid having to buy the ironrock or re seal. if i have to take...

will the 95+ shorter 231 t-case fit my 92 with the longer tailshaft? im looking into making a junkyard sye and just wondering if it would solve my seal problems. thanks

does the porc kit work with a stock front driveshaft? it doesnt say on their website or anywhere else. i know the yoke is the same but what about length?

i know an "hd" sye is better but id rather not get into removing the t-case and taking it apart. i think a HnT is the way to go for me. went to the junkyard today and got another xj slipyoke and a front yoke from a 231. im going to ask my macininst friend what he can do to put them together. if...

i used that in part to do my lift. used different springs though. he doesnt address driveshaft issues or trackbar issues though

ok ok. yall convinced me. anybody know of a hack and tap cheaper than ironrocks that will use the stock xj front driveshaft? it looks around 175 plus vshipping for the yoke, seal, bolts, tap and bits. i already bought a front shaft from the junkyard.

trackbar before or after alignment?

confession time. ive never driven offroad or built a jeep before. so i did my junkyard lift. going for 3", ended up at 4.5. (i welcome any questions on it) i dropped the t-case 1" and it killed most of the vibes. probably still need an sye but it can wait. what else do i have to worry about...

i got lucky and the one still on there was pretty tight. plus these old school "sawblade" wheels are about an inch thick(got the whole set with 31x10.5 all terrains for $40 after some craigslist bartering) i drove about 20 miles total. i guess i got another job checking angles this weekend. any...

so if i dont do an sye what wears out? this isnt a DD, its a third car for our family, a toy really. will it eventually lead me to figuring out how to rebuild a transfer case? id like to do it right but its alot of money. anybody ever crack the junkyard code on the yoke needed to run a cv...

yeah i think that happened in the 12 or so miles i drove home before i did the transfer case drop. they're not hitting now. waiting for my next day off for tire balance and alignment. i guess that will be the real tell if i have any more vibes

get ready for the punchline....you ready.... so im looking all over the internet pricing sye's and i get to thinking. i go out and check all the bolts that i took off for the rear lift and there all pretty tight still. i stand back to smoke a cigarette and guess what? i only have one lug nut...

i cant drive without the rear shaft because i have the old style case with the 3 bolt tail shaft. my first vibes were because of the slip yoke being out too far, i fixed that with the t case drop but now i think my rear pinion angle is way off. what exactly is an angle finder and where do you...
