egghead Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 So i'm still on the verge on making my MJ Four wheel drive. Got the upper arms welded and ready to put on. Making the lowers this weekend. All I have to do left is Gears,mount tranny/T-case and get a drive shaft. A buddy of mine came up and told me his dad has a 1986 2.8 Jeep MJ 4x4 long box. He only wants 500 bucks for it. The question I have is will the drive shaft work for my project? I have the 4.0 AW4/231 setup. If it will work, Myself and two of my other buddys are chipin' in to buy the thing; i'm taking the shaft, and they are going to make it a wheelin' rig. Thanks for the help Egg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Sorry, but not only will the d-shaft probably be the wrong length, the shaft is of an inferior design. 86s got gipped in the front d-shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egghead Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 I forgot to put that I was wondering about the rear shaft. Will the rear shaft work. Also what do you mean they got gipped? Egg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 It's a skinny little front driveshaft. Just plain wussy. I doubt the rear will fit either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egghead Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Daggummit. I was hopeing it would work. Oh well maybe I will get to see my buddys make a nice little Manche Buggy. Thanks for the help Pete. I'll still go take some measurements and see if it will work. Egg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
