Is that a hack & tap or something similar?  Looks different that what I'm used to seeing...

With the bolt holding the yoke on, I'm pretty certain it's a hack & tap. And now I know what that means! :)

It's a hack & tap, the stock driveshaft was bottoming out so we got these parts and Harry's picking up a front drive shaft to stick in there. Headed to Rausch this weekend to see how the new tires do!

Since we did the lift and 8.25 swap at the same time, the longer D35 driveshaft was a good fit, maybe a little on the long side. Now that the rear has settled, it's definitely too long.

Hack'n'tap is the only option for a 242. Older cases have the oil seal around the slip yoke. Had to also get the replacement seal housing for hers which is that red piece.

Been awhile, Jeep needs some much needed love! Since I've been busy moving to NY recently, but really want to wheel this fall for the women's day wheeling event at Rausch in October, Harry's helping me out. Tonight he replaced the stock control arms with some beefier arms we got used. Dented the arms pretty bad last time wheeling so it was good to finally do this. My next few weekend plans are to help make rocker panels and weld on stiffeners to the unibody before it gets worse. Since last wheeling trip my door is a little off and rain leaks in just a little bit.  :o Going to try the locker in the rear with a new cross pin this time. Crossing our fingers this will fix it's issues!

Jeepie will look great on the streets of Brooklyn!! :)


If you happen to need trash chute or boiler repair work down there I’ve got a guy for that.

Also, L&B’s Pizza. Upside down and AMAZING.

Productive weekend! First, took the t-case skid plate and cross member off, used the grinder and got all the black coating off the unibody rails, and got the stiffeners welded in. Cut out end caps and welded them to the box tube ends, then ground them smooth. I finally got to weld for the first time, I was super excited  :D Cut out the old rockers and Harry and I fit the new ones in and he tacked them all. There's a spot we had to cut out that was crushed and rusty so we'll have to fill it in later. After I left Harry's tonight, he welded more of the rocker panels, until he ran out of oxygen. While I'm at work this week he'll prime the stiffeners and I got some flat metallic charcoal spray paint for the rocker panels to match the flares and door panels.  Next up... lockers  ;D
