On IRO's website it says the front driveshaft may not work on pre 89 models? What's different in those models that the stock front driveshaft may not work?
get a full sye
dont want to see your well-built rig go to waste on cheaper parts
full sye and xj front driveshaft should total to like only $260+tax/ship anyway

Only reason to do a hack n tap would be for an np242 transfer case. Np231 gets the full HD sye kit, no buts about it.

I did not pull the transfer case. It was super easy to do still in my rig. Probly took less than 2 hrs start to finish. Take your time running the tap in and use lots of cutting oil and it's a breeze. From what I've read there pretty durable as well. Definetly not like a full hd sye but would probly be fine for most people.

Running 33's with 5 in. of lift in an '00 with a D35 and just put in a hack and tap using a drive shaft from another automatic, which I got for $30. I got my HnT from dirt bound, referencing a write up from go-jeep (links below). It's relatively easy and slightly time consuming, just make sure you drill as center and straight as possible and you should be good to go. I did a lot of reading up and found very few people who managed to break one, so if you don't do any extreme wheeling you should be fine. Good luck!
