Long story short - it drove GREAT, ALL the way home... & promptly dropped the driveshaft as I backed into a parking space...

The engine is GONNA get beefier, and the rear axle has YET to be rotated, SOOOO... we're gonna go with an NP241 slipyoke eliminator from JB Conversions (they've taken my MONEY... I'm just waiting on a shipping/arrival date now) and my local driveshaft man is building me a new 1350 double cardon driveshaft to harness mah POW-AH!!!
On the bright side, Dave - who didn't even fiddle with the driveshafts (my driveshaft man refurbished 'em - my other mechanic installed 'em) - has come by, and tacked everything BACK together here in my parking lot - with a stronger yoke - for the time being. We know there's SOME binding, so we'll just mosey it along the streets (it needs more GAS!!!) for a couple of weeks, until Dave's ready to drop the t-case and install the SYE. Once THAT'S done, we SHOULD be able to offroad it - even flex it a BIT - until we're ready to rotate the pumpkin.
I'll post some pics of the upgrades that DID get accomplished, soon.
