Happy Saturday! Well my 2000 Sahara has provided me with new and varied maintenence oportunitities since purchasing her a month ago.. Heater core, Transfer case making terrible sounds. And all those little things that you discover while attempting to remove the T-case.. Broken , rusted skid plate bolts,. Cable Shifter install.. Broken transmission mount...and now the front driveshaft
I actually had to pry and jack the transfer case away from the front diff to allow enough room fot the drive shaft to come out. The slip yoke / splines are rusted but good.. Soaked in PB blaster for several days, Sledge hammer, Now in Electrolysis for the remainder of this day. I Don't have a lot of hope for getting it to budge, and even if I do what will the condition of the splines be??
So... I have looked on Amazon there are the CRS inexpensive models at $212 ish, and USA Standard gear for $360 ish... One on Ebay from a builder back east.. I'm not afraid of spending money on quality, but there is zero feedback on any of these ?? Can I get a OEM spec driveshaft from one of the custom builders? Open to any suggestions.
