my YJ was built with the same CV shaft front/rear with a 2pc front. but a WAY cheaper junkyard build. i took the front output shaft from a roached NP231, radially cut the gear off, and turning ground whole thing to 1.5". just the seal dia the whole shaft back. that slipped into some 1.75" x 0.120 wall DOM leaving half the shaft exposed. i then slipped a cheap pillow block onto that remaining 1.5" OD and mounted that to the frame. the stock 231 1310 CV yoke will bolt on/off. nice and rebuildable with basic bits. a stock TJ slip yoke also uses a 1.5" seal so it slipped into the other end of the DOM to complete the mid shaft and go to the d300 with a standard joint.

only issue is the angles aren't set up right and will vibrate bad at speed if i don't unlock the hubs. the 55 however has precisely set angles
