If you have a rocklobster transfer box fitted does that mean as it is a transfer case from an sj that the rear propshaft is also from a sj rather than a jimny? (the propshaft on now splits apart just after the transfer box on splines)

It depends on who's mounting kit you have used to mount the Rocklobster. Different kits use different solutions. I used the Offroad Armory Kit and it used the FRONT prop from an SJ as the new REAR prop

The rocklobster mounting kit was by rob storr and had been fitted before the previous owner bought it. it was at one time Stuart Bell's (see other jimnys) and it had the rocklobster on then (2008) so it has lasted a while including winch trials by the previous owner

Here are some more pics of the bits - any one know which one it is? front or back sj 413 or 410?

Rob Storr makes the props out of a jimny prop and an SJ prop, best give him a ring 07815 182857. Hes notoriously hard to get hold of and even harder to pin down to doing a job for a particular time, but his work is absolutley A1. If you dont have any joy with Rob Storr then ring Richard Wattam (Rockwatt)(PM me for number) (and tell him i sent you) and he could make you a prop up if you give him the distance between the two flanges. I'd bet both would need you to supply some props though.
