shaft needs shortening and possible skid plate massaging... here is a good write up.. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/241-rock-track-install-into-97-tj-399875/

things it does not answer:
1.) is pinion angle, I am not sure if that will need to be corrected.  If so how.. I do not currently have adjustable arms
2.) I really would prefer to get rid of the t-case drop so I probably need to do the body lift or see if we can massage the floor to make it fit.

meh, ok.


sounds like work.  I think mine is going to get pulled tonight and take apart.  something has to be bent or messed up.

Shouldn't need a body lift if no tummy tuck.  Definitely dump the t-case lowering spacers.  If you have a CV in the rear shaft already, your pinion should be within 2 degrees of shaft angle.

putting the 241 on a 231 skid plate causes the case and the shift linkage to hit the tub
I don't currently have CV.

i left the buddy heater in this thing last night to try and dry out the floors that are still sopping wet from whispering pines 2 weeks ago....


i shop vacuumed out a couple gallons of mud and sponge dried as much more as i could.  I think its going to take a couple more days with the heater.  lol

if the case happened to disappear from my TJ it would be more incentive to get moving on the rest...
