I have a nv4500 and an AtlasII for my jeep, I was told that if I get a Klune-V I can just swap the driveshaft front to rear instaed of buying new ones. Has anyone else read this also or are the lengths close to any other vehicle?? I really want to K.I.S.S.

If you can afford all that gear, why skimp on the shafts? We have a deal with Tom Wood. I wouldn't run the tiny front from my Jeep as a rear.

Personally, I think that you should give me the NV4500 and Atlas 2 and you wouldn't have to worry about changing either of your driveshafts. Besides it would make a nice birthday gift and I wouldn't even make you wrap them up.

You are correct Pat, they will swap. The idea is that in a Scrambler, the rear shaft hangs low coming out of the bottom of the Atlas II, so when you swap the smaller diameter front shaft to the back, you will clear more obstacles. Also, with the larger diameter rear shaft now in the front, when you come down on a rock, the extra weight of the engine can now be supported by the stronger front (previously rear) shaft.  |

i'd use front shafts for the front and rear so that you have a weak link, then if you blow the drive shafts, they'll both go at the same time; that would look really cool

Amsteel (the makers of the blue winch ropes) has come out with polyethylene/nylon driveshafts, so that when they break, they just drop to the ground instead of the parts flying off and hitting someone.  |
