it just happens to be a shiny spoon in front of me right now. lol. it's a 231 Hack n tap for 200. waiting to hear back if it has any leaks or other damage to it.
After getting stuck at Frosty's the other week, I decided that I would really like to go up to a 4.5" lift with 33s and this seems like a less expensive way to get there.

 

Unless you plan on wheeling every weekend and doing reds at Rausch, hack and tap is the way I would go....
Or try Scott's suggestion and lower an inch first.... cheaper for a crossmember from the JY

 

LOL, I'll try to let you guys know what you have to do to your jeeps to make them legal, or did you have other things in mind? lol.

 

There, fixed it up for you.

But between the AX15 crossmember and a H&T, you should be fine

 

That's a good price....
When you check it out, looks case over really good around ears for cracks. That's where mine started (242), and it ran from there...

 

dang, well, does anyone else need one?? I'll bring it on Sunday, maybe Shirley needs it..

 

What style stinger do you want for your bumper???

 

is there any leaking that is acceptable that can be fixed with new seals and whatnot?
Green put himself on the hook to go up there with me, so hopefully he'll know if I'm getting duped or not.

 

ok lots of info flying around so i'll clear things up a bit

- NP 242 - only option is a H&T sye. The Tom Woods kit is a stock output shaft that they put on a lathe to do the h&t. More exact perhaps, or better if you don't feel comfortable with doing it yourself, but exactly the same none-the-less....

- NP 231 - HD Sye (output shaft replacement with bigger, stronger unit), or H&T


you can use the front driveshaft behind the SYE without any issue. XJ shafts work up to around 4-5". A ZJ shaft will get you another couple inches beyond that.


the easiest way if you're doing a H&T is to leave the TC in the truck, make sure the front axle is clear, throw it in 4x4 lo, and reverse, and let it idle - slowly spinning the output shaft of the TC as you drill - that way you drill perfectly straight and in the middle of the shaft.

if you have a pre-96 XJ - you will also need to get a output shaft seal/bearing retainer since there is not an internal one on these models.

 

It may or may not be wet around the tailshaft. Spin the shaft, should be pretty quiet. Anywhere else would be your call, if case is not cracked it's repairable...
I'll try and get a sound clip in a bit of my bad one so you know what it should not sound like

 

--yer hired!!!!!

 

Hey Ben I'm doing my lift next weekend and putting the TC from the '00 I bought yesterday into mine and pulling mine. I'll sell ya that one for like $75, nothing wrong with it and then you could pick up the Rugged Ridge HD SYE from PORC for 170. A little elbow grease and you'll have a nice '99 231J with a nice proper SYE in it.

LMAO!!! Shirley these 30s are waiting for you if you ever want them.

 

Anyone have a car trailer I can use for a bit? I wanna strip this Jeep but I need to be able to put the shell on something I can haul it to the scrap yard when I'm done
