The Adams Driveshaft ASDXJ-1310CVR-G is a precision-engineered heavy-duty rear CV driveshaft designed specifically for 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ models with lifted suspensions. This American-made driveshaft eliminates the vibrations, binding, and premature u-joint failure associated with stock driveshafts operating at extreme angles.

Key Features:

  • Heavy-duty 1310 series construction for increased strength
  • Double Cardan (CV) design eliminates driveline vibrations
  • Precision-balanced for smooth operation at all speeds
  • Greaseable u-joints for extended service life
  • DOM (Drawn Over Mandrel) steel tubing for superior strength
  • Engineered for lifted XJ applications (3-6+ inches)
  • Bolt-in installation with no modifications required

Why You Need a CV Driveshaft: When you lift your Jeep Cherokee XJ, the rear driveshaft operates at a steeper angle than factory specifications. This increased angle causes single u-joint driveshafts to vibrate, bind, and wear prematurely. The double Cardan CV joint design allows smooth power transfer even at extreme angles, eliminating vibrations and extending component life.

Technical Specifications:

  • Part Number: ASDXJ-1310CVR-G
  • Application: 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ (Rear)
  • Series: Heavy Duty 1310
  • Joint Type: Double Cardan (CV) at transfer case end
  • Joint Size: 1310 series u-joints (3.219" cap-to-cap)
  • Tube Material: DOM steel construction
  • Tube Diameter: 3.0 inches
  • Yoke Style: Standard slip yoke and flange yoke
  • Balancing: Precision computer-balanced
  • Finish: Black painted steel

Direct Fitment:

  • 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ (2WD and 4WD models)
  • Compatible with all engine options (2.5L, 4.0L)
  • Compatible with all transmission/transfer case combinations
  • Designed for 3-6 inch lift kits (may accommodate higher lifts)
  • Works with stock or aftermarket axles

Heavy Duty Construction: Adams Driveshafts are built to withstand the punishment of off-road use. The 1310 series u-joints are significantly stronger than factory 1310 joints, and the heavy-wall DOM tubing resists twisting under high torque loads. Whether you're rock crawling, trail running, or daily driving your lifted XJ, this driveshaft is engineered to handle the abuse.

Double Cardan CV Technology: The CV (Constant Velocity) joint at the transfer case end uses two u-joints connected by a centering ball and socket. This design allows the driveshaft to operate smoothly at angles up to 25-30 degrees—far exceeding the 3-5 degree limit of conventional single u-joint driveshafts. The result is vibration-free operation throughout the entire RPM range.

Precision Engineering: Each Adams driveshaft is:

  • Custom-measured for your specific application
  • Built with precision-machined components
  • Computer-balanced to less than 0.5 oz-in
  • Assembled by experienced technicians
  • Tested for quality before shipment

Installation Notes:

  • Direct bolt-in replacement for factory rear driveshaft
  • Length is pre-determined for lifted XJ applications
  • Requires proper transfer case output yoke (typically stock)
  • Grease all u-joints before installation and every 3,000-5,000 miles
  • Verify driveshaft clearance at full suspension compression
  • Professional installation recommended

Performance Benefits:

  • Eliminates Vibrations: Smooth operation at highway speeds
  • Prevents Binding: CV joint allows proper articulation
  • Increases Reliability: Reduces stress on transfer case and axle
  • Extends Component Life: Less wear on u-joints, yokes, and bearings
  • Improved Drivability: Quieter, smoother power delivery
  • Off-Road Capable: Handles extreme articulation and torque loads

Maintenance:

  • Grease all u-joints every 3,000-5,000 miles or before off-road trips
  • Inspect u-joint caps for play or excessive wear
  • Check for driveshaft contact with exhaust or chassis components
  • Verify proper yoke engagement in slip section
  • Use quality CV joint grease (NLGI Grade 2 recommended)

What's Included:

  • Complete rear driveshaft assembly
  • Pre-installed 1310 u-joints (greaseable)
  • CV centering components
  • Installation hardware (if required for your application)
  • Lubrication/maintenance instructions

Important Notes:

  • Driveshaft length is critical—verify lift height and measurements
  • Some extreme lift applications may require additional modifications
  • Transfer case lowering kits may affect required driveshaft length
  • Tire size and gearing changes do not affect driveshaft requirements
  • This is a REAR driveshaft only (front sold separately if needed)

Lift Kit Compatibility: This driveshaft is engineered for XJ Cherokee models with:

  • 3-4 inch lifts (optimal range)
  • 4-6 inch lifts (fully compatible)
  • 6+ inch lifts (may require custom length—contact manufacturer)

Good quality, bright, good light projection pattern, good choice for snowblowers
Color: 2Pcs 18W LED Flood Light, Color: 2Pcs 18W LED Flood Light
This review is ONLY for the Nilight model 1260LM (the package of TWO of them). This product has a flexible design, allowing it to be used in a variety of ways when you want to add illumination to a vehicle of some kind. It can be used as add-on fog lamps for trucks and off-road vehicle, it can be used as headlights for golf carts and such, and it is a good choice for adding headlights to snowblowers. The two mounting brackets allow swiveling and angling up and down for best aim and illumination pattern. Each 'lamp' assembly is mostly made of black anodized or black powder-coated aluminum, with a water-resistant design. The front 'lens' is Lexan or some other suitable clear plastic material with good, durable properties. The manufacturer claims that the included mounting hardware (bolts, nuts, washers) are stainless steel, but they seem to weigh too little to be SOLID stainless. Whatever they are made from, they do not attract strong (neodymium) magnets. Because I bought the lamps to use on my snowblower, I decided to replace the included hardware with solid stainless hardware. The large bolts for mounting the brackets are M8 x 1.25 and the smaller bolts for attaching the lamps to the brackets are M6 x 1.0. I also chose to purchase the smaller bolts with 'cap head' bolts, because it make lamp angle adjustment much quicker and easier. Each included bolt comes with a flat washer and a split-ring lockwasher, and the large bolts also come with nuts (the smaller bolts thread directly into pre-tapped holes in the lamp bodies). The included lockwashers make sense for the main mounting bracket bolts, but there is no reasonable place to use the lockwashers of the smaller bolts. I inquired of Nilight tech support, and they clearly had never thought about WHERE those lockwashers should be used, and they concluded that they probably should NOT actually be used. Each lamp has a short (perhaps 6") 'pigtail' cable coming out of one rear edge, and these cables each have a pair of wires inside; a RED one for + and a BLACK one for - . The user can wire these up any way that is desired, but probably they will be wired in parallel in most situations. I wish that the cables were longer; as it is, it is necessary to splice them to other cables in places that will not be hidden from view and/or otherwise protected from the elements. These lamps are designed to operate on 12VDC power, although the exact voltage is not critical. There is no need to use a special LED power supply, since the lamps include their own internal power conditioning circuitry. Powering these from 12VDC, EACH lamp will required 1A of current, to 2A total when wired in parallel. This comes to 12V x 2A = 24 Watts. In my case, I needed to power the lamps from a cordless power tool battery which produces a nominal 20VDC, which can drop as low as about 16V. Accordingly, I used one of the ubiquitous and inexpensive "DC Converters" (aka "DC-DC Converter") with an input having a voltage range that includes the expected 16~20V of the battery, and has a regulated 12V output, and has a Power (Watts) rating of at least twice the expected load, in this case a 60W one from Amazon. Since these converters have nearly a 100% efficiency, the input and output power (Watts) will be the same value, 24W. Doing the math in my case, an assuming an average battery voltage of 18V, the math is 24W / 18V = 1.3A. My battery has an Amp-Hour (Ah) of 4, so 4 / 1.3 = about 3 hours of operating time for the two lamps from a fully charged battery. My only gripes with the product have already been mentioned: - overly short power cords - poorly conceived hardware 'package'; the smaller lockwasher are useless, and the associated bolts should have had cap heads instead of hex heads (I won't complain about the lack of sold stainless steel hardware, since that would have driven the selling price WAY up)

Good bang for the buck.
Color: 2Pcs 18W LED Flood Light
I have bought 10 of these now. I put them on my work trailer and use them for reverse lights. They are cheap, easy to install, and they work very well. Now and then, I break one; they are exposed on my trailer and stuff happens, and these are so cheap it's not a big deal to replace them.

used for a snowblower light upgrade
Color: 2Pcs 18W LED Flood Light
I replaced the halogen bulb that came with my snowblower with these bad boys. Talk about a night and day difference! I was able to use two existing holes on the top of the blower and the included brackets to mount them. I also had to get a rectifier that converted the AC 24V to the 12V DC these expect. Used some scrap conduit, wire loom, and some project boxes to bring the whole thing together. Now the light is a lot brighter, and it's not half-blocked by the chute. Big improvement! You can find plenty of howtos and parts lists on youtube to do the same.
