If my rear DS was made of big thin-wall tubing like my dented up front DS, I'm sure I would have dented and twisted it long ago. I like the idea of recycling the front double cardan, but would much prefer to have it welded to some heavier wall DOM.

i was kinda skeptical about using the front xj shaft too. but for the price comparison its completely worth it. and if for some reason i do bust it then i can upgrade everything then. but the nice thing is that if u get in abind and ur rear shaft goes out then u can slap the front in to get home. if all goes well i should be able to do it for under 100 bucks. let u know how it goes.

Okay let's open a can of worms here... Does anybody know if the 231 tailshaft 27 spline can mate up to the Dana 30/44 1310 27 spline pinion yoke? I can make the flange, I can afford the seal. I have the yoke. Will it fit??? I'd check for myself, but my 231 is in my daily driver. This would be a fun challenge if it fits.

I had a complete DS made with CV for my TJ for $220. If you go to a local shop, you will find better prices. it took the shop 4 hours to finish it. I went to driveline of Fresno.

so does thius mean that i just use the tail housing from a tj or do i have to take the shaft and all? and what about the speedo gear on an xj they are cable driven. arent they electronic on tjs

on older xj's they are cable driven,

on the newer ones they are electronic, with the sender being gear driven, as previosly mentioned.

yo 6 speed theyll fit.

Cool, too bad I blew out my spare yoke when my 35 grenaded the other day...
