front drive shaft
 
If anyone has a front drive shaft from a 4.0 aw4 combo, or knows of a good junkyard that might have one that'd be great, I'm located in southern Maryland. Thanks

I have one. Shipping would probably suck, though.

Yeah I was hoping for local I can get one for 75 from a yard where they pull it but I was hoping to find one for a little less

Yeah it's 35 if I pull it but, in the u pull yard there are only 3 cherokees, one is mangled beyond recognition, one is 2wd and one has 2 rounded off heads on the bolts holding the driveshaft shaft on.

I thought the same thing and was going to try and do it underneath but my great family friend being a mechanic showed me that it is really easy to take off just drop the crossmember and its nuts and your free to go and since I have all wekend to do it why not make it easy on myself

if you are doing it underneath unbolt the exhaust at the bottom of the manifold and let it hang alot more room to turn a wrench and when you are assembling it use whichever type of fluid you are putting back in it on the mating surfaces where the bearings sit it will slide into place easier also before you really get into it when you take the front driveshaft off remember to break the nut that holds the yoke on so its easy to get off if you take it out
