converting 4wd to 2wd
 
hi, i am in attempt to build a custom ride out of a 2000 jimmy. My question is if i take off the tranfer case, can i get my drive shaft to go directly into the transmission? if not is it possible?

No, you need a differnt tranny.

your better off selling the 4x4 and buying a 2whdr.
You cna use your tranny, however you have to take it ocmplete apart and replace the output shaft with a 2whdr version, plus you need a 2wdr tailhasft housing and you will need to replocat your vss cable, plus get a longer driveshaft, then you have to deal with the front axle. You cant just remove the front driveshaft, you have to remove all of it and replace it with a 2wdr version. that includes your a-arm and all suspension parts.

sell it and buy a 2whdr.

im not using the blazer front axle for my project, can i just take out the front driveshaft and leave the tranfer case? May be wasting my time and should just find another car to mess around with

any replys on just taking out the front driveshaft and letting it spin freely inside the tranfer case?

Like what the other guys have said, you're much better off buying a 2wd Blazer and going from there.

That depends, if its a slip fit in teh front diff, NO.
If the driveshaft is bolted to the front diff, than yes.

Same goes for the t-case. slip fit, no; bolt on yes.

Why would you remove the front axle and not remove the t-case OR front axle? What is the point of removing the front driveshaft only?

Im in the process of building a front engine dune buggy. i am taking the rear axle motor and tranny, but i want only a rear wheel drive.
