Ive got a 2000 xj thats lifted 6.5" with 37x13x15" tsl boggers. Ive had the tires on two weekends now and my stock transfer case decides to explode last night. My brother has a atlas 4 speed that he's not using that came out of his 94 yj how hard would it be to put in my xj. I know I'm going to loose my center console and I'm going to have to cut the floor board.

Heres a little picture of my stock transfer case and one of my jeep on 37"s.

 

Your transfer case broke because you have too much lift for the stock slip yoke drive shaft. The front ujoint bound up and destroyed the case.

 

if your brother put an atlas in his YJ i would ask him for help. what axles are in the YJ? drive side drop? pass drop? you may or may not need a flip kit, shifters... what trans? idk what spline tcase YJs used... its prob 21 and your 2000 is 23.

 

He has a d30 high pinion front and a ford 8.8 back. His yj has a ax15 trans and my xj has an aw4. His yj is a drivers side drop.

 

Thanks for the help but i got it figured out. Both a ax15 and a aw4 are both 23 spline. The Atlas 4 speed will be in tomorrow.

 

Whats the output on the Atlas? I agree that the stock DS is woefully inadequate at that height.

 

thats pretty much all youll need to know. looks small, and since it was used with an 8.8 i'll assume 1310. find yourself a stock front shaft to use.

 

Your correct the rear is a 1310. Im taking to my local drive line shop and having a shaft made for it. As for looking small i would say that it easily weighs twice what the trans case weighs.

 

I wish I had an atlas laying around lol

 

i was talking about the yoke looking small.. thats why i guessed 1310

 

Ok so i had a set back. Went to put the atlas in and i couldn't get to seat on the transmission. After some inspection i found that the sleeve that goes over the output shaft is a out a 1/2 " to long. I called advanced adapters and after about 30 seconds on the phone i found out i needed a 1/2" or a 3/4" spacer. Got those ordered and should be here tomorrow. When its installed ill get some pics.

 

What you running for axles with the 37s?

 

Figured it out

 

Stock 8.25 welded in the back and a dana 30 with ten factory 4340 chromoly axles up front. Im also installing a eaton e-locker in the front this week.

 

Good to hear. I'm planning on picking up an 8.25 this weekend and i'm only 35s so I should be good
