Re: 1997 Wrangler Problem....
 

It was the drive shaft for sure. We lowered the transfer case a bit more and
it's way better now. Looks llike I'll need to get a "beefy" new drive shaft. Is
this a difficult thing to order? What should I look for? I have a 4 inch
suspension lift with 33 inch tires. Thanks again to everyone for all the help
and emails! ;-)

Tom Wood's Custom Drive Shafts. Just a couple months ago, Tom presumably saw
my write-up at http://7slotgrille.com/tech/sye2/index.html on my conversion
and out of the blue sent me some hats and stickers and stuff. When I called
to thank him I mentioned my off-road club's charity truck show and he sent a
whole bunch more freebies to put in the goodie bags. Top-class guy.
