Bastardized NP231
 

I was looking into something last night and I think I got it. The pre 96 xjs have a short slip yoke on the 231 and a longer tailcone, and the 96+ 231s have a short tail cone and long slip yoke. Correct me if I am wrong or before I do something really really stupid...

I have a 1991 cherokee with 231 that I want to hack and tap. Can I go to the wreckers and pull the *** end off of a 96+ 231 and slam it onto my 91? Therfore eliminating the long tailcone whilst still retaining the seal?? Somebody crunch this for me and let me know.

Also can i grab the front yoke and jam it on the rear of my abortionized 231, drill n tap and use a front shaft for complete jy sye?

why are you slamming everything in? lol:rofl:

I have wondered the same thing...

Slamming is fun.

On the serious side tho, i will fully document the idea if I get somebody to say it will work, i don't have money to waste on all this if its not going to work.

It will work!:whistling2::whistling2::whistling2: I really have no clue but if it does I would like to know.

And no the front yoke will not fit on the rear shaft. If it did we would all be doing that!

YEP :rockon:

then i guess it would just be easier to get IROs hack and tap kit with the rear end housing included in the kit.

or just get a sye and get it over with

....and slam it in!

that is what he is talking about... He is talking about getting a Hack-n-tap, which is where the SYE started...

I am so tired of people acting like HnT is a 'Hack Job' way to do things... (LOL, I made a funny) IF it is done right it is JUST as good as most prebuilt SYE kits, in many cases it takes less time to do a HnT SYE... If you are good with tools then go HnT, if you are not so good I would go with a bolt in kit

so what is the best kit? well that is really up to your wallet... or your old lady's purse

Easier yes, cheaper no. And that is what I thought you were trying to achieve.

Hmmm I am gonna do what I can and not cut corners. I will take pictures for the first time. An yes i will JY it. Just for you guys lol.

I'm very interested to see how this turns out as well haha

not gonna lie, i'm nervous as hell.

well if you just get the parts and slam it together. i think there's a fair chance it could work! if not, fab it so it will!
