what TC yoke when using XJ front DS on rear?

[rguy]

I've been going threw search results for 2 days and can't find a clear answer to this.

If I use a front XJ front driveshaft in place of my rear driveshaft, what transfer case yoke do I need? I have a NP231 TC.

All the SYEs that I've found for the 231 use that flat round mounting plate and will not mate to the front XJ driveshaft. I need to do this as inexpensively as possible and would like to use a front XJ driveshaft in place of the stock rear driveshaft without having to modify the front driveshaft.

thanks.

there is a spicer part that adapts the flanged tc output to the yoke of the ds
spicer Part # is 211229X,

if you have the 231 then some sye's have a yoke output.

that looks like the front driveshaft on a 80's GM fullsize 4x4.

thats just a front shaft from an XJ w/previous posted spicer pn.

The SYE that PORC sells ($169.00 shipped to your door), comes with a yoke that the front driveshaft double cardon joint willl bolt directly to.

Here's the pictorial install write up I did

Now i'm confused. Your writeup shows a different yoke than the one pictured above. What SYE kit did you use?

He didn't post the picture above, these are 2 seperate methods of doing the same thing.

I know that.

Let me start over...if I use a front XJ front driveshaft in place of my rear driveshaft, what transfer case yoke do I need? I have a NP231 TC.

Or, who sells a SYE kit that uses a saddle type yoke as pictured in his writeup?

All the SYEs that I've found for the 231 use that flat round mounting plate yoke and will not mate to the front XJ driveshaft without modifying the XJ driveshaft. FWIW, will a 80's GM fullsize 4x4 front driveshaft bolt up to that flat round type yoke like pictured here:

http://www.4xshaft.com/index.html doesn't go right to the page I was trying to post, look at the install instructions for the late model 231 sye
this is what you are(trying to) talking about, there are others like it, with the yoke output. AA has one etc.....
