I've noticed that I have some play in both my driveshafts, I believe this to be the U-joints. How much do you guys think it would cost with parts and labor to replace all of them? Or how hard is it to just do it myself? Really any words of advice would be appreciated. Thanks guys

You can do a U-joint by yourself with just hand tools. They'll probably be about $20 a piece. I haven't done them on a Jeep yet, but have done them on a Chevy S-10 pickup and an S-10 Blazer with my buddy. Took less than 20 mins.

This is a good vid for learning how to do it yourself.

Why the heck did I never think of using my vice that way! I pretty much got the same procedure as he did in the vid except i usually use the garage floor, haha. Thanks for the tip, will definitely try that the next time around.
