Does anybody make the cromo axle shafts (inner passenger side) for the D30 that retain the disconnect feature?

I like the disconnect..
Possibly Better gas mileage.
No worries about front driveshaft vibes.
No T-Case chain wear when not in 4wd.

Those are all outweighed by having a stronger and more reliable front end...one piece shaft.

Gas mileage is hardly affectedMachineMan said:
If you have a front driveshaft vibe, fix it
And if your vacum system decides not to work on the trail, it's everyone else that's going to be waiting on you to fix everything.

if you want to keep the disco i assuem you know how large the inner shafts are on that side. i've only heard of one breaking at the splines. unless you are running some real HC stuff you likely won't break one of those. i'm more concerned with the mechanism failing than the shaft.

for what its worth - 95 YJ's have the disco and 297's...

Are both passenger side disco inners beefy?
Maybe I just get alloy outers and drivers side inner. Then get a stock 297x passnger inner (u-joint side). But then the U-joint ears will still be weak on that side..
Or maybe I should just eliminate it like you guys are saying and work out all the other issues..

Ya right. I can't count how many of those I've seen break, 27 splines is 27 splines. The fact that they're so short makes them weaker than a one piece axle shaft since the one piece has a lot more length to twist and absorb shock loads.

Ditto, that intermediate shaft is snap-a-rific.

Good point, beat me to it Ranger. If you have to have alloy disco shafts then get them based on a 95' YJ. So when you order say you have a 95' YJ that needs some alloys really bad. :laugh3:
