CJ Driveshaft

[Reckless]

Needing a driveshaft. Sheared mine off yesterday.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

:doh: front or rear? weld dat ***** back up so you atleast have a spare...

[robertf03]

there are probably 20 different possible lengths of cj driveshaft.

[Reckless]

I twisted the rear one in half and bent the splines

[DRAGOONRANCH]

so you tryin to do burnouts w/ it now???

[Reckless]

crawling a rock ledge and pop.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

I see said the blind man...

You get that damn thing painted yet???

[colman]

what type is it. is it flange mount or yoke style, about how long. 1310? ...

[DRAGOONRANCH]

If the ears are still good, make a square tube one for a spare. I bet the coleman boys have somethin layin around...

[Reckless]

its a yoke style. ill get a measurement later it has the t4 trans with the 300 case. not sure on the u joint type. Its a standard cj-7 ujoint . Ed, ill try to get some pics up when my camera gets back from the cleaners. Like i said before Ed, i twisted the splines on the slip shaft or i would have made a new one.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Is the slip shaft inbetween the yoke or is it a slip yoke in the back of the transmission???

If it is inbetween the two u-joints, find two pieces of square tubing that will slide inbetween eachother (like a reciever hitch) to the two yokes.

[Reckless]

yea i realized that yesterday. going to go look this afternoon

if you want a relpacement look for a front driveshaft from a wagoneer or explorer 4x4 front shaft, yours and those should be 1310. then cut to length... or the square method works great for trail rigs. there are a lot of writeups on the internet on how to do it

[DRAGOONRANCH]

With it being a rear shaft, I would only try to use the square for a spare because it will still see plenty of street time I am sure. It would do you good for a trip out to krocks though. If you get some extra lobes, make a spare for the front because it has a slight bend in it which I am sure you have seen when lookin past the shifter.

is it cv? i think i have my stock front driveshaft which is 1310
