Rear rzeppa replace?

CRD rear yoke:

I see! Can you convert it the same way as the front output yoke? Looks like front is 32 spline and rear output is 27 spline? Are conversions available or you need to mate a 1310 yoke with something like this? https://www.ironrockoffroad.com/prod...iveshaft.html?

Is a better route to get a doner V8 and swap out the transfer case and possibly both drive shafts at the same time?

Talk to Carolina Driveline https://carolinadriveline.com

When I did mine they were the cheapest option and very helpful.

Cheers Jason. I will. Doesn't sound like the rear rzeppa is very common in the states, I wasn't sure if they'd know too much about them.

Any reason something like this wouldn't work assuming the bolt pattern lines up? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/29314916...53.m1438.l2649

I'd be looking for a new yoke that will accept a double-cardan. You may need to extract the existing rezeppa yoke and count some splines and do some measuring to see if something's available.

A yoke off a front output from a Cherokee or Wrangler TJ would work, they are 27 spline.
Then you would most likely need a front TJ driveshaft for the rear.
