Ordered the hack n tap kit. I called IRO and talked to Josh, he was very helpful and said that as long as the tail cone on my np242 had three bolts, the kit would work for me with the flange seal. I ordered the flange seal, the drill, tap and hardware and the yoke itself, and it came to $179. Going to use the XJ fronts DS i got from Roger. Josh said a ton of people are running this kit, and or the Rubicon Express Hack n tap with a lot of sucess. IMO the 32 spline output shaft uprade is overated and overpriced. The thought of spending $839 for the tom woods kit, made me sick to my stomach. This seemed the way to go. Hope to have it installed soon, with pictures and a write up to follow. ;D

For that kind of $$$ you could easly find a NP231 with a SYE installed. I have heard that installing the hack-n-tap by disconecting the drive shafts and running the jeep in low range while applying pressure with a hack saw is the cleanest way to make the cut.

The iron rock offroad hack n tap is on its way. It will be much easier then swapping in a 231, and I can keep my full time 4wd which I love in the snow. I'm planning on building a YJ or TJ when I get back from my deployment so this is just something to get black betty ready to wheel untill I deploy in july.

I did a Hack N Tap on my 94 XJ NP231. Drove it for 2Yrs & never had a problen with it. I no it was not the best way to do a SYE but fit my budgit at the time. Hardest part was cutting the tail shaft. It must be cut straight or it will leak.
