Front and rear turnkey driveshafts questions

[Buckz6319]

Hi
I thinking about replacing the front and rear driveshafts- due to age and rust. I would rebuild them…but I’d rather just buy new complete ones.
I believe they are stock..looks like OEM

Can someone let me know which driveshafts I need for front and rear? ..I will not be doing much off-roading except accessing my construction sites…so, I don’t need high dollar ones.,IMO-

Any photos of them would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I'd call @Shawn at Tom Wood's

A lot of it is going to depend on what you have done to your Jeep.

This. Wood's is just a little more expensive than Adam's but they seem to have better longevity.

So what is necessary?

 

[tworley]

Rebuild them. There is no need to buy completely new driveshafts at $300-400 each. A rebuild kit is $120 last I looked.

So what is necessary?

Two new stock driveshafts. or rebuild them. simple

Well, new MOPAR driveshafts would be substantially more expensive than the TW or Adams, but they are discontinued, so not an option anyway.

If you choose to rebuild your stock shafts you can find information about how to do that here https://4xshaft.com/blogs/general-tech-info-articles/diy-u-joint-replacement. Just make sure that the splines move freely but are not loose and that the other parts that are not at-home rebuildable are in decent shape.

No disrespect—Just FYI…I can rebuild the shafts no problem…I have a lot of tools and other necessary equipment that I have and use to work on a lots of mechanical equipment …rebuilding these shafts is no problem…however I’m getting older (61) now and work full time building custom homes and put in a lot of hours scheduling, meeting subs, putting out fires (so to speak) , answering emails, text messages ect all day long 5 days a week…and sometimes on weekends

My time after work during the week and on weekends..is special to me and my wife, so.. if I can pay a little cash to make my repairs a bit easier..in so many ways..I will do it.

Just try to remove a 1979 Ford Camper special - front end King pins …that have a lot of age and mill scale on them..now that’s a job that will make you curse up a blue streak until they come out and go in…I still have and kept a souvenir of one that I didn’t ever think I would get out 35 years ago…
