ooooo.....appears to be the correct part and appears to be the same part used in the superlift shafts.


BUT...that is the same part number as my part. had 4 holes instead of 6. redesign is my guess.

 

You just need to verify it is the 6 hole design

 

I bet they sent you this one

http://www.drive-lines.com/parts1.php?pn=N2-83-288-4X

or one of the toyota ones, same number but the last 2 characters are added

 

OHHH....

Figured i'd add up what my shaft cost me....

$ 150.00 (NOS new front shaft from explorer/ranger)
$ 91.20 (N2-83-288X adaptor)
$ 68.00 (shorten and balance of shaft)
-------------------------------------------------------
$ 309.20 Total using all new parts.

I know I can get shafts just like the one i got but used from the junkyard for $50...so that number would go significantly down should anyone do it with a junkyard shaft that might need joints.

IMO...it's worth it. My off road shop hook up wants $400 for the SL shaft...other places i've got quotes up to $525 for it. I built my shaft and it's pretty much exactly like the superlift shaft for at most 3/4 the cost.



stock vs. new shortened expo/ranger shaft w/ double cardon...

 

Beard...you might be onto something there....

i think i might need to order the 2x one up.....and verify it's got 6 holes.

 

I'm still winning
$50 for the origional shaft, then getting made into a square one fo' free

 

not really. i paid 35 for my XJ shaft. direct bolt on.

 

so the 6 bolt flange up there will need no drilling or anything?

 

ya but you can't use that anymore can you? did you get the adapter for free?

 

what adapter? i have a manual 1354?

 

when i bought it i got a 6 bolt and it fit perfect no modifications.

 

which I now HAVE heheheheh

 

blah -- buying one tomorrow!

 

UPDATE on my driveshaft...the douche bags at the driveline shop didn't finish the balance on it...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr so once again I get to wait again for another day....just as I find out that i might have to go to Branson, MO for a few weeks...being the army decided to run to BlackHawks into each other while they were rolling down the taxi way....grrrrrrrrr need 4wd in MO....they get snow and chit.

 

got to love slow places. i feel your pain. happens to me all the time.

 

OH YES.........got the new driveshaft today....


Went and picked it up tonight....turned out really good. I'll probabley pass on the paint right now, just wanted my 4wd back: On to the pics....

What I started with:




After chop and rebuild LOL:





















That's it.....oh and 4wd works pretty good now.....now if that other box would show up! heheheheh more to come later..................

 

nice!!!!

 

Glad to see you won't be 2 wheel peeling through any more mud holes!
