I recently purchased a 2000 Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.7L with an NV247 transfer case as a Project Vehicle. It has no front driveshaft. The front axle and transfer have the flanges for the CV/CV(Type 3 ?) driveshaft. I need to get one soon. Some postings say it will ruin the xfer to drive without one. Other postings say it won't hurt. Doesn't matter - I won't drive it without one. Anybody have one for sale? New to the XJ circle. I'm an old CJ nut.

The flange type is harder to find and the CV shaft is not recommended for lifted vehicles.
A double cardon is the standard.
I had that flange style front output yoke on a transfer case from a Grand Cherokee. Switched it out for the yoke style to run the double cardon drive-shaft. It's an easy swap.
On the 242 and 231 Transfer case, it will not harm anything to drive without the front shaft. But your 247 is different,it has a viscous coupler. Could be trouble.

I'm not lifting this one. The CJ is for the serious off-roading. I just need to get the stock drive shaft back in the Grand Cherokee

Understood, also I realized the 247 TC operates different and I edited my previous post to reflect it.
Hopefully someone will hook you up. I might have found one on e-bay for $125 delivered. Seems like too much. If all else fails, car-part.com

Thanks for trying to hook me up but that's for a newer GC. According to the parts manuals the one I need is '99 thru 2004.
