Title: ZJ front driveshaft compatbility? 93-98
Post by: LifesGrand on December 23, 2008, 11:48:39 AM

Hi all,

I hope everyone is off to a good start for X-mas!!!

Question, are all ZJ front driveshafts compatible thru 93-98 as long as they came from the same t-case? in my case, the crappy 249?

Thanks!
