| Slip yoke eliminator Conversion |
| My friend Alan laughing and wondering where the transfer case is. Hey Alan it's gone.... I broke it!!! Thats is what I said when the output shaft was sheered clean off pulling whole shots with my 33x12.5 tires. I guess I was having alittle to much fun at the time. Oh well you know what they say you want to play you got to pay.... and It cost me $600.00, about 6 hours work and a week of driving my broken Jeep with just front wheel drive. |
| This is the broken piece of the old output shaft above the new "stronger" one from Advanced Adapters. The part of the old shaft that looks like a "t" is actually the oil seal plate. It was run over bye passing cars as I rolled to the side of the road no longer having too much fun. |

| Here is a side bye side shot of the transfer case before and after the conversion was done. Notice the large CV end in the pic on the right. It attaches to the new CV type driveshaft(pictured below) which is a much better shaft then the slip yoke type (pictured below)for a lifted Jeep. The reasons I say this are a CV type shaft allows you to maintain a sharper drive line angle without and driveline vibration at highway speeds. It is also safer for offroading. This is due to the added ablity of being able to remove your driveshaft (in the case you smash it or break a universal joint) without losing all your transfer case fluid which would render you stuck. In the pic on the left you might notice a round white object in the front of the shaft housing. This was my Quick fix to that on the old housing.It is a cap from some starter fluid that I wire tied in there as a plug to keep all the tranfercase fluid from leaking out. This enabled me to drive my jeep without my rear drive shaft. It will drive on the front if placed in 4wheel drive. It took 1 week for my coversion kit and couston drive shaft from Tom Woods to arrive. But like they say theres nothing like having a woody for a shaft in your Jeep. |
