Help! My brother destroyed his rear drive shaft leaving Uwharrie National Forest on Saturday. He then tried to limp it to the next exit on US 95 using front wheel drive only and heard a pop. We think he snapped the chain in the transfer case. Since both pieces appear to be toast what is the best upgrade he can do? He has a "'91 YJ, 4.0L, stock transmission, t-case, axles, etc..." Any and all advice will be appreciated! Thanks!
Take a look at an AtlasII transfer case.
I think I would be finding out about that 'pop' before spending money. Your transfer case has a big chain, it doesn't go 'pop', when it goes, it is the noise of a chain beating itself silly usually.
A pop is way more likely one of the 5 front u-joints saying good-bye....

Atlas II from Qudratec....$2100.00 ouch!!!
I guess you have to pay to play!
Can you convert a Dana 300 to work? Thanks
Good idea! It's definitely work taking apart first. But he has been considering upgrading anyway. The Atlas II sounds great but pricey! We just want to explore all options for replacing the transfer case as well as the driveshaft.
I am not sure. try
I think you have to jump through some serious hoops to put a D300 onto a YJ, the front diff on the YJ is on the left, it is on the right on CJs.
There does exist a kit to "flip" a D300 to work with left-side front pumpkins. I forget who makes it, though.
