I jumped on the palmetto & did 55. There was some vibration but not too bad. For me this is just a temp solution so I can start going on some wheeling trips. Hoping I can find a good deal on a posi-lok or maybe I can get w/ you & check out your setup for the long haul.

Brian- the more I drove the jeep, the more the vibration started to bother me. I don't know how much balancing the front driveshaft would reduce this but you should look into it before spending the time to bypass it & wind up unhappy at the end.

I was worried about the drive home whn I was flat towing it. I guess my front DS is balanced pretty good. Was going 65 an I didn't noticed any vibration from the towing vehicle. Also, I'm lucky to go 60 downhill driving the YJ. Hah

never thought of that. good info, thanks. but say I was to put in a TJ shaft or similar (one piece) I would have the same problem then wouldn't i? why is this a known upgrade? your probably right, never thought of that but now I am confused. it would be the exact same issues with the diff with it locked and only have to put it in 4wd to engage it.
dave, I see what your saying about the 2wd fun. but if I do not engage it and only leave it in 2wd, wouldn't only the rear spin? obviously if I have 4lo or 4hi engaged it would turn the fronts…. ???
