[QUOTE="Rockwells607, post: 663518, member: 1134"] i wish I had a picture but I don't, when I first got into jeeps I had a POS 1987 all rotted out, I plated right over all the rust like it was my job just buried that ****. Of coarse I had the ruff country 4" lift cause it was 399$ and homemade shackles to lift it 6" total. all my buddies had the same setup we did about 6 jeeps just alike in 6 months, well anyone that wheeled that setup knows they broke rear driveshafts like crazy because the only slip was in the tail housing of the 231 and the drive shaft never got longer with droop so it sheared the straps off and itd break that tail housing too! I was young and worked at a machine shop , didn't make much money so I wasn't about to buy a slip yoke eliminator so built my own custom driveshaft setup I called the redneck slip yoke eliminator. I took a driveshaft with slip joint and cut it down to fit the back, put a snowmobile clutch spring in the slip to hold it open then installed it slipping the old slip back into the tcase and the spring always held tension into the tail housing, I think I used Cherokee front driveshafts they were cheap and abundant. This actually worked awesome! I don't think any of us broke rear shafts again unless hitting a rock or something. I ended up making several for the crew [/QUOTE]
