Well, possibly stepping up a few extra modifications to the Jeep... The plan has always been get the Jeep done, then when the transmission goes (presently had the Peugeot-10), replace it and the t-case with an ax-15 and a newer NP-231. At the same time though, I am going to be adding upgraded upper control arms, and "Superizing" the 231. I was going to wait until I finished the XJ to even begin to look into this stuff, but I found a very good deal on the tranny t-case combo that I can't pass up, and am getting it tomorrow. I still plan to wait until the present one goes to replace it, but if I can get this stuff in the 231 sooner, then I will just swap it out when I complete the 231 build up.
The plan is to add these upgrades:
- Slip Yoke Eliminator
- HD chain and sprockets
- 6 planetary gears out of a NP 241
- The proper gear for the speedometer to register for 33's and 4.10's
- CV driveshaft for the SYE
- Maybe the low range kit if there is enough money left after the above
I figure I may as well do everything I can to the t-case while it is open, and get it all done at once to save the time of having to do it again in the future.
What I am looking for here is this, I know I can get the planetary gears out of an Np 241. I am wondering what model and year vehicles have these that I should be looking for in the scrapyard? Are there any junkyard parts that may have the hd chain and sprockets I could use for this build up? I know the low range kit I will have to buy, which is part of the reason I am hoping to be able to do the rest of the upgrades cheap enough so I can afford the low range kit. Also aware of having to get the speedometer gear new.
One more question, for the cv shaft, is there any vehicle I could look for in a scrapyard that may have something I could use for my build up? The rig it would be going in is an 88 XJ, 4.5" lift, with a 8.8 in the rear. Or would the driveshaft be something I would have to measure for after putting in the SYE?
Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.
