Project SkyMiles "Phase II"
Project SkyMiles "Phase II" is a combination of upgrades designed to strengthen the Cherokee XJ,
make it more versatile, and position the Jeep for future upgrades. The main pillars of Phase II
are the addition of a Klune-V 4:1 planetary underdrive and the switch to a Dana 44 rear axle.
The upgrade was far from a simple two-step upgrade, however.

Drive Shaft Basics
There are many subtle things about a drive shaft and the
conditions it operates in that will greatly effect how well
the drive shaft performs. These subtle variables may have a
profound impact upon the life of the drive shaft
components, the amount of vibration the driveshaft
produces, and whether or not the drive shaft is even
capable of meeting your vehicles specific requirements.
