Tom Woods now produces a solution to the old hack and tap mod for the output shaft on the np242 box fitted to the cherokee, which then allows a conventional drive shaft and slip coupling. As with the kit the price may be a determining factor when choosing to conduct the modification

This SYE kit with our top of the line drive shaft is $750.00. At this price it includes; 1310 series CV drive shaft with the XC or XB slip yoke & spline stub if 36” or less, if longer we will build the drive shaft using 2.5” tube and our standard spline at the same price.
If you want to go all out for strength, you should consider our heavy duty kit with a 1350 series drive shaft. The package price on this is, $900.00. Again, complete with the 1350 series CV drive shaft. In order to gain the full strength benefit from this conversion and drive shaft size, you should also consider changing the pinion yoke to the 1350 series. Depending on which differential you have, this yoke would cost between $60.00 & $130.00.
