sense asking you have learned the bearing surface on the shaft is the deciding factor. Either shaft can be used in a rebuild as long as you use input gear, main shaft all have matching bearing size.

who said anything about low range in AWD? Of course would only use such when using 4wd option. far as I know zero issue with driveshaft line toward rear. Certainly something to look into though. Will look. Granted myself am in position to really cheat... If the rover axles are any good at...

Badlands in Attica may be what am remembering and just mixed it into OH by mistake?? Seem to vaguely remember something Sand-ish.. but long ago wheeled in many states soo it all gets jumbled up in my head. Quick search for [ "Sand" offroad "Ohio"] seemed to show some promising leads though

we are not far apart in distance. I forget there is like one place in all of OH with sand (if memory serves me right).. never been there. Granted not been wheeling in decades*. This diesel TJ is suppose to be my foray back into it sorta. Main intent is for it to be daily driver/weekend...

nah, likely more of an exaggeration on my part on unplanned rear steer of back end.... and your taking the exaggeration further than I wrote. Short wheel base will always easier want to rear steer you if that is the only place your power touches the ground. Just matters friction (or lack...

makes lot of sense... but rover option was not a known to me at the time. Thus was/am installng NP242. Maybe few years down the road could switch to Rover cause well..... there is two in my back yard and one has the adapter plate that would be needed to fit the 5speed Jeep Had a scrappy...

EXACTLY. just learned about Rover option lately. Am installing NP242 cause nearly got that ready to go in all ready. Why @Tob AWD? Got Diesel engine in TJ (once old diesel is out and my new one is running and got TJ on road again). MY scrappy old diesel in it before...... on wet roads...

no other low ranges available. No other division in AWD between front to back beside 49/51 (think that is the split) Id rather something closer 40 / 60? 30/70? Not clear what options in split power front to rear the AWD Rover Aftermarket sells though

happen to know that a adapter plate is made for back of 5speed to fit a Rover Tcase. Rover Tcase is very very adaptable according to Colt Builds it. Various low and high range rations available AND AWD planetary available. Rover Tcase made to go behind V8, so plenty strong for TJ/LJ Buttttt...

did anything change beside the bearing size ..... in reference to the bearing...... as in ... where they bearing rides..... did that change..... As in ..... I got fubared and my main shaft dissappeared after Dec. 2024 dissassemly and boxing it all up.... Now here in Sept. 2025 back at it...

ok I am being stupid again...... how do you search INSIDE THIS THREAD ONLY. can find search features for everthing but searching inside a single thread. Wanting to recheck the years of the two input bearings sizes of 16mm and 24mm UPDATE- found that... just a scan up found a more recent...

bump

Keep plugging. totttttttttttallly get where ya coming from.... One Emergency Room visit bills for infected dog bite in May, now totals more than half my yearly SS income.

well I'll beeeeeeeee damned. Found the one of the two needed that I had. Anyone able to make 3d print files / print a pair if I sent you this thing your way????
