That's what I want but I'm way too impatient... Adam's is within 3 miles of my house so I'm goin with them just for that reason! And if something isn't right I can just take it to them!

night run for Saturday 6:00 - 6:30pm at the Chevron on Durango and the 95 north. Hang out and do potato ridge with us and watch the sun come up over Red Rock! After Wheelers pass.

Never be impatient lad. You will always regret later.

If you guys hit Pahrump in the morning, text me I might wanna go for the rest. My cooling issue is fixed, now I'm dealing with the clogged cat. A spark plug de-fouler only helps so much. Lol

I went with Adams because I went to high school with Rob and his dad James makes him work everyday

I didn't like the whole "call us with the measurement and we will send out a drive shaft" ordeal. I'm a patient person, but I hate waiting for parts.

Exact measurements bro, fit to your vehicle. That's the difference I found. It sucks waiting, but For the same price, why not have it precise??

For the clogged cat, give the jeep a drink. Take the Vacuum line off the break booster and slowly, SLOWLY, pour water into it while the rig is running. You'll hear the change in the engine and if it bogs down then stop for a second. It superheats the cat. I did it to mine.

I can just grab a cv driveshaft off an auto Cherokee from the boneyard though, right? Ive come to understand that you can do that.

Misunderstood. I know you can use the front drive shaft. I don't really know but don't think you can use the rear off of an auto.

It flash steams the water in the combustion chamber and adds more o2 out the exhaust manifold, which helps burn more of the unburied materials through the cat, thus making it hotter! It'll kick out a bunch of carbon. Hopefully it'll knock loose the buildup you have in yours. And it's not voodoo. It's witchcraft. I did it o try and pass smog.

Will this also help your gas mileage?

True. I had a Tom Woods on my last XJ. Tom Woods was 10 minutes from my house in Ogden, UT and they measured it for me back then with the stock shaft in place. Waited several days for it to be built, but I got a tour of their shop when I picked it up. Honestly, I don't think any aftermarket driveshaft compares to TW.
