or what about welding two of those dodge disconnect collars together to make one twice the size since they appear to have a perfect weld bevel already on them?

For 5" engagement, need 15" total to disengage.

false.  take a 5" spline slug thing and move it 2.5" its disengaged. 

[mr.mindless]

that's sure true. IDK why I was thinking someone said 5" on each side.

Brain fried.

The splined section on the main shaft isn't long enough to let two collars side by side disengage. The splines are definitely different than a driveshaft slip. I have thought about trying to cut away some of the splines on a driveshaft slip to make my own disconnect but I think I'm ready to give up on custom designs and just adapt one of these:



These have been out for a long time and people seem to like them. 27 spline Toyota is just a hair smaller than the output in the transaxle which originally steered me away from this as an option but but on second thought, that may actually be ideal. I know a lot of people with Toyota t-cases with similar power and weight who don't have any issues breaking rear outputs and I'd rather break that than a transaxle output.

Solid shaft is still the priority in the short term - want that as a spare regardless. The ability to have fwd is really nice for cruising between trails. I went through the cost and effort to build the cutting break into the rig, would really like to maintain that feature if possible.

Wheeled all year, no real modifications. Some reliability items have been noted, but nothing major. Still very happy.

Would still like to add the rear disconnect back in
Hood and door panels

Bigger rams for a little more steering is on the "at some point" list

Tried on some 42s today. Went well and placed the order. Raceline is having a sale all month long, 20in Avengers are $100ea off, so I guess I'm pulling the trigger on those too.

Hopefully 300Ms aren't in my future (knock on wood)

Good job!
