Is there some trick to removing the drive shaft from the transfer case? Mine is a 242, it should just pull out right?

 

I've got my 8.8 fully installed. I ordered the Hack N Tap from Iron Rock a week ago and I figured it's be here today or tomorrow, but I went a head and called them. They informed me it has not shipped yet and MIGHT ship this week. It said nothing on their website about a delayed shipping time. So my XJ is stuck in the garage for at least a week more. Makes me so happy.

 

Yeah, it should just slip right off, unless they already hacked n tapped it....?

 

It came off, just needed a little help from a wood block and hammer, just tapped it off.

 

Nice man! Your weakest link for the rear drivetrain has now become your transfercase rear output shaft! LOL

 

And i guess after I called Rock Iron they decided to ship my package, about a hour after the call I got a shipping notification from FedEx

 

Here are some update pics. Its funny I told myself I would take more pics to better document the build for others but when you're by yourself it just doesn't happen.



This is with out the shocks hooked up.


It sits level now.

 

looking good man man I need to put discs on mine. How was it connecting the brake lines (i heard you have to get adapter pieces....? but not sure

 

Well it all bolted together so We'll see when i test drive it this week end. I used the stock ford lines. It all bolted up in the right spots.

need help

Im installing a IRO hack n tap kit, Ive all ready hacked the shaft, but my problem is I can not get the hole drilled for the tap. I have brand new colbalt bits but they wont make a scratch. The is already aboutan 1/8" hole started and I cannot get it any larger. The bits just spins and leave no marks on the 242 output shaft.

 

I got it

 

Recently purchased a 98 ZJ I live in the humble area just wanted to speak to my houston peeps.

 

So any that has doen a Hack N tap, have you had an issue with the end of the yoke leaking fluid. It does not leak at the bolt but instead around the edge of the yoke. Its only a little but enough to make me made I spent money on this kit. Now I thinking I will just pull the transfer case and rebuild it complete with a true SYE kit. It ha 260k on it so its about time.

 

Hey there Mr. Red....I am new on the forums as well. Wheeling a pretty nice 1995 XJ here.

Curious if anyone else is going to Hidden Falls on May 4 for the Wheelers for the Wounded event?
