My rear end is probably gone. I was wondering if I could limp home in 4wd since i have the np231 transfer case. Also wondering if a rear end from a Wrangler with same gear ratio and setup for coil springs?

not recomending it but yes you can drive in 4wd to get you where you need to go. depending on the damage done to the rear axle. its possible you can/have completely locked the rear up and all youll do is drag the back tires (ive done that before) but also, you just broke something and you can spin it. i wouldnt recomend very long at all, and keep your speed low you CAN make it. again NOT RECOMMENDING IT!
