Hack and Tap. Use a front driveline.

 

It sounds like you're doing what you need to do, contacting the seller, and asking questions. Don't be scared, haha... he makes these to order, which is a good sign, so I would ask him for pictures of your particular setup, installed on your vehicle type, and maybe some previous customers (with the same vehicle) reviews.

That said, I also agree with cruiser's statement above. It's a known setup that works. No guessing.

 

It has been done. But the reason we don't do it is that the issue with lifting our Jeeps, particularly 96+ is that the yoke pulls out to far and causes vibrations.

 

Thank you for the feedback. I've been wheeling a long time, and have never seen one setup like this. Learn something new every day, lol

 

Tom Woods will make one. One of his pictured examples. Example: On the back of a highly placed carrier bearing on something like a long box truck

 

I was also looking into this. I'm considering it, but I was debating on doing a 242 swap first and then getting it (I want the 4 wheel all time, no not looking for discussion). If I get this before doing a swap I'll weigh in on the results.

 

The double cardan rear driveshaft works great. No vibration from the rear at all and so much easier than adding a SYE. I'd do this again over the SYE any day. Just eb careful who you order from, the person I ordered from dragged their heels and took almost 8 weeks before shipping it out.

 

The jeep crowed can be scared like a heard of sheep and easily pushed off a cliff actually you only need to push the first one then the rest will follow off on theyre own to theyre death

Just because something has been done for 30 years doesnt make it right or wrong just means thats what the sheep are doing.

I say go for it i dont think youl have any issues running ttat shaft.
Actually i dont haveac sye on my jeep. I happen to have the parts to make a cv axle slip yoke like pictured. I just may fire up the welder and glue the stuff together to see what happens.

Thank you for shareing and being confident enought to not be a sheep. For that ill follow you instead

 

Hey, if it works, it works. I won't knock a known solution.

That said, this is not something that has been done repeatedly for years like the other methods. Not saying it's not a viable option, just that other options are well proven and easily obtained. Myself? I'm going to go with PROVEN results that have worked for decades over other less popular options...

 

Nothing wrong with that.

But lets be honest the xj recipe is boring is putting out unsatisfactory unthought out bad steering ****ty riding rigs

 

welcome to hell, let me get you a chair lol

 

Im already here with you the only difference between you and i is ive got nothing to lose.

To the OP call the up the vender on that drive shaft some spoken words can go farther then random jeep guys on a forumn.

Remember ounce upon a time humans use to actually communicate face to face making eye contact?

For the most part those days are gone but a few still do spread theyre wisdom with real communication

 

You must remember that what the majority of what we call conventional wisdom is just the cheapest option. as in tis case, the whole SYE thing was the idea of using a stock front driveshaft

 

Unfortunately sometimes those proven solutions aren't the best and often times are mediocre at best. The amount of work and the level of skill required for this option compared to a SYE is a lot less work and much easier. Looking at if from a concept lens, they do the same thing, they minimize the wear on the universal joints and decrease the driveline vibration. The only difference is how it's mounted and this driveshaft using the existing setup of the transfer case makes it much more accessible.

Agreed. We're all looking for new ways to still keep the platform exciting. Building variety in how that's done is part of the fun and what keeps us coming back. It's no fun reinventing something that someone's already done a million times to have a subpar experience.

 

Quite by coincidence I happened on this over the weekend:-
