You're welcome

 

Last night I read through all the stuff you all sent me. Thanks Timmy, Matt and Nathan. I actually found a write up with pictures where a guy did exactly what I was wanting to do. He swapped a 21 spline input shaft from an NP242 into a later model NP231 that originally had a 23 spline input shaft. From his write up and pictures it all bolted right together. It was on hobbyguild.com. So I am going to give itba whirl. I will have pictures soon.

 

Okay guys so I made it over to my shop tonight and got a little bit of work done. As you can see in the pictures I did get the 21 spline input shaft removed from the NP242 that was in my red Jeep when I bought it. The pile of scrap metal on the work bench is what is left of my NP242....LOL. That crap will make it's way out to the garbage pile. I have the only piece I want of an NP242 in my Jeep. Now, I just need to get it installed into my NP231.

 

nice man! planning on some weekend building? I found the writeup on hobbyguild also, good stuff.

 

I have a little side project to get knocked out that I took for,some Jeep cash. A neighbor offered me $200 bones to rebuild the rearend in his old lady's Durango. Should just be replacing bearings and seals. Pretty straight fwd. I hope to knock most of that out tonight and finish it up in the morning. Then get on with the Jeep build with $200 bucks to spend.

 

Well I ended up having another rig to fix this weekend. The daughter grenaded a CV shaft in her Honda down in Seattle so I'm headed down there to fix that. Might get some work done on my Jeep tonight.

 

ahhh buck ur worrying me buddy! only 5 weeks left!! get er done brotha!

 

C'mon buddy.....you know I will have it ready. The wife will be out of town all this week for spring break. Every night after work til bedtime is mine to work on my Jeep.

 

I should have the transfer case done tonight. Maybe even put in. I have to get a hold of Chris Froelich of FST in Yakkma to get one of his simple NP231 linkages.

 

So I took lasg night as a lazy night. I will be getting hot putting the 21 spline input shaft into my NP231 tonight as soon as I get off work. I did get my simple tc linkage frpm chris froelich at leadfoot innovations, on order last night.
