Hey guys I interesting in lifting my jeep, right now I have my eye on the RC 6.5'. But what im wondering is how much is a hack n tap cost and is it hard to do? Would it be easier to put a NP231 T-Case in?

less expensive to make your own
at a junk yard find a slip yoke off of theses cars and fother the naxja article
80-82 Ford Thunderbird
80-82 Mercury Couger
82-87 Lincoln Continental
79-80 Lincoln Versailles
84-88 Lincoln Mark VII
thats what I'm doing

 

my bad, you were right.

 

Thats why we pay him the big bucks

 

So any one of these will work for the 242 ?

 

yup got mine out of an 88 mark7

 

How many Spline is the 242 ?
I just found a CV Yoke up in the Barn marked 231

 

they are the same 27

 

for the same money you can get a yoke from power train industries
and you wont need a flange adapter
if you cant find one in a junk yard

 

Figured I'd post this question here instead of creating a new thread.

I have a NP242 and got a Hack N Tap from IRO.

The installation instructions seem to be really lenient in where you cut the output shaft, a long as you leave 1.5" of splines remaining.

Now what if I go and pick up a front drive-shaft from the JY as everyone else does, but instead of hacking off the output shaft, reversing the direction of my springs, stretching the wheelbase and moving the rear end further back. I would then proceed with measuring the distance and trimming the output shaft to fit the stock front drive-shaft.

So: does anyone see a problem with installing a Hack-N-Tap essentially on the end of the stock output shaft (given about a 2" stretch).
