Drive Shaft Fell Off On Highway, Need New Parts
 
I have a 1992 Cherokee Laredo 4x4, I6 4.0L, NP-231, Chrysler 8.25 rear and Dana 30 front.

While on the highway today my rear driveshaft fell off and it damaged the transfer case and possibly rear diff/axle. I wanted to replace the t-case and rear and front axles anyway. What transfer cases are compatible? I found a guy on craigslist selling a dana 30 front end and chrysler 8.25 rear end and a np242 t-case.
Would that work (http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/pts/4720834659.html)?

Any other suggestions?

Edit: Would a np233 work, because there are a bunch of those on craigslist near me?

U-joint failure.
Slap an extension housing, drive shaft & yoke in it & carry on.

Yea all you'll need is a tail cone, drive shaft and maybe a yoke

Avoid the NP242 since there is limited aftermarket support.

If your rig is lifted, this is the perfect time to upgrade to a short-shaft SYE.

The back of the transfer case is also busted up (look at the first picture). Is the tail cone the thing that got bent? Where can I get another one?

Is your rig lifted?

Then just grab a tailcone& tailshaft housing from your local JY.
