TJ Drive Shaft Thickness?

[Will Carter]

Anybody know the thickness of the tube on stock TJ driveshafts?

Mines a 1997.

Front OD measures 1.75, rear 2.5. Just trying to figure out if I can sleeve the inside or outside.

Paper thin. In my build thread, I'm pretty sure there is a pic comparing the thickness of the stock TJ shaft to the 1/4" wall thickness tubing I used to build my new rear shaft.

The front is 2" .120-.125 wall I know. The back is like .093 or something I'm pretty sure.

Yep. I cut mine up to find out. My front is 1.75 though.

Auto's had smaller diameter shafts than 5 speeds.

If they're anything like XJ shafts, they're probably cardboard on the inside.
