I am sick of chains

[xjluvr]

Has anybody done a dana300 flip in thier XJ?
I am currently toying with this idea (after breaking chain #3).
I am looking at this flip from
Down East Offroad .

Johann from Raleigh NC did one in his 93(?) that used the Downeast kit. It is Sweet!!! His is clocked up to be almost horizontal...(mad clearance!) he had to cut a LOT of metal out of the floorpan though, and hadn't closed it up yet when I saw it.

I think before I messed with the 300 I would go atlas. A lot of CJ guys I know have a heavy right food and break the output shafts. I think Advanced Adapters make heavy shaft, but by the time you add T-case, flip kit, and beaf up the output shaft, your in Atlas territory with lower gears.

Not quite Atlas teritory, yet. The atlas I priced was around $2500, the flip kit method was around 1400, I already have a 300 from a totaled CJ.

You do know about the HD chain option right? Just checking, not really suggesting you baby that 231 along.

Thats the point, I don't want to baby the thing, i want to know that when the tough stuff comes along, I will be prepared. I don't mind breakage that much, but when it comes to going over or being pulled over, I take going over any day.

Advanced adapters is going to sell the rocktrack NV 241 transfercase from the rubicon tj line. 4to1 gears and stout. I thought it was priced around 1600.
