Voice to text brings the funny.

 

Think that's funny, that's nothing. I used voice to text once and told my wife she had a big truck a$$.

 

hahaha. That depend if she took it as a compliment or an insult

 

She laughed.....thank gawd!!

 

Depends how you want to use the jeep,If its more a daily driver keep the 242 case,If you want a off road toy then swap to a 231.

 

It will be for both, a Daily and off roader. I'm planning on a 4.5 lift with long arm kit with 33's. It will be a winter project and i will be posting pics.

 

The 242 case is stronger than a 231 case (larger, ribbed casting, etc), and the addition of AWD makes it more generally useful (especially for slick surfaces). The 231 has a larger aftermarket (more SYE kits, 2-Low kit, 4:1 option, etc). They are the same length and generally interchangeable except that the 242 is bigger round and sits a little lower than the 231.

 

yes but they cut down the stock shaft and cut the same amount of stock splines, so it will have the exact same outcome as a hack n tap just a different process to get there.

 

Still wrong.
A Hack-n-Tap kit requires you cut off a predetermined length of the existing shaft, drill and tap the shaft and hang a new yoke or H & T flange on it.

A short shaft kit replaces the entire main shaft and adds a new tailcone that has a larger hole that allows the yoke to slide into the tailcone. The yoke is then retained by a large nut (1 1/8") that is threaded onto the main shaft.

Huge difference.

 

Not the same. The TomWoods output shaft will place a HD yoke close to the transfer case and will look just like the front output. The hack-n-tap places the yoke far away from case. I don't think spline count is an issue here.

 

^^^

^^^^^ Yes ,,,right here.

 

so because he cuts off a little more of the shaft and threads the end instead of drill and taping that means its not a hack n tap? i disagree it is still a hack n tap just a different style. i am not the only one that argues this

the iro hack n tap kit places a hd yoke just like the front also

And it sits FAR OUTSIDE THE TAIL CONE.

The TW kit IS NOT just shortened and then packaged up to be sold as an SYE. There's plenty of machining done to turn the OEM core into a true SYE kit that keeps the yoke inside the tailcone.

I don't see anyone agreeing with you in way.

 

Images to compare.
To avoid the $300 core charge, an output shaft from a functioning junkyard case could be sent in with order.
