Couldn't find much searching, maybe I'm just tired.... Would it be possible to just drill and tap the factory reverse slip yoke to the 231 and then install a double cardan shaft? I know the extra length sucks but its an XJ, not a shorty jeep. What do you all think???

Biggest problem is the crappy fit of the slip yoke and how are you going to connect it to the dual cardan? hint.....no centering pin

Dont have to worry about the shaft falling out of the back of the tcase. All the slip would be in the shaft, ya dig?

Besides the already mentioned things,I want to see you drill an un-cut shaft!
BTW:You have to "use" the search feature,this thread is only 3 weeks old and still current as of today!

If you could balance all that rotating assembly perfectly it could work,but any imblance would be magnified by the distance from the bearing and speed of rotation,this imblance or vibration would kill the support bearings in the TC in short order.I believe that is why Tom Woods was not in favor of the H&T conversion.I think he sells them now,but most went with the already shortened & machined SYE kits as the best system.
