:
: pretty much- you can either use RE's SYE and hack/tap the shaft yourself,
or
: pay more and have Tom Woods do it for you. There is no Heavy Duty SYE for
: the 242 available.
:
*****Thought so but there is new stuff coming out everyday for XJ's and
there are a lot of 242's on the road. I think the H'n'T will do fine.

: > For 33x10.5 will I need to trim?
:
: Yes. I have 6" and 33" tires, and did some generous front fender trimming-
: perhaps I went a little nuts with the die grinder :-D I also run TJ front
: flares.
:
*****I wanted to avoid "generous" cutting but I guess I'll have to if I want
33's... seems to be the concensus. If I have to change flares, I think I'd
like TJ rears and the front and rear.

: In the rear, I trimmed the stock flares up to the body line and flattened
: the pinch seam.
:
*****Did you trim to the seam and fold in or did you trim part of the seam
as well?

: > Can I reuse a custom driveshaft from a D35 if I upgrade to a D44?
:
: not positive here, but AFAIK, the driveshafts should be interchangeable.
: The only problem you may have is the pinion snout on a D44 is a bit longer
: than on a 35, so take that into account if/when you have a double cardan
: driveshaft built. owrst case, you could have the shaft shortened at a
later
: date.
:
*****By eye I was thinking it would be interchangeable but I'm going to
check before I do anything. I'd hate to shell out a wad of cash for a D35
and have to buy a new DS next year if I swap in a D44.. better off to bite
the bullet and do it all at once if that is the case.

:
: I also wanted to mention, before you go to 33's and coil spacers... give
the
: rear leafs a couple of weeks to settle- you may lose an inch or more once
: the leafs break in a bit. Have you regeard, or ar you planning to? 33's
: and the 4.0L on stock gears is a dog- I have 4.56s and part of me wishes I
: had gone with 4.88s!
:
*****Yep, it'll probably be a few weeks sorting out driveline angles and
vibes before I worry about tires. Once I decide on tire size I'll be
investigating gears... was thinking 31 w/4.10, 32 w/4.56 or 33 w/4.88

Thanks for your comments!

Okay morbid curiosity got the better of me, I peeked and you kept it clean.
Do you think that box will:
be tall enough?
support her weight (120 lbs or so)?
