Zebvance Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I just finished the new lift and axle swap on the mj finally and went to go put the front drive shaft back in and I can't find what I did with the bolts or straps, so I need to order new ones. The front axle is a d30 out of a 97 tj and the transfer case is a np231j out of a 91 yj I think. Can any body help me track down the parts for these? I think I found the bolts that attach the drive shaft to the axle but they are not long enough so It has me wondering if the tj dana 30 set up is different for attaching the drive shaft.

87Warrior Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 For the axle end, go to your local auto parts store and buy the cheapest u joint available for the TJ axle. The u joint will come with straps and bolts. At the transfer case end, stop by your local hardware store and buy bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87Warrior Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Know the thread/ pitch?Not off the top of my head. I usually carry stuff like that into the store with me and try the various sizes until something fits. Make sure you don't get bolts that are too long, there isn't much room between the yoke and transfercase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankTheDog Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 They probably have the straps and bolts on the Help rack at the auto parts store and the parts guy should be able to get you the right parts. Pretty common item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
