Had a blast at little moab today, best time I have had out there yet. Tons of fun, two tip overs, some carnage, and met some awesome locals.

 

You get your jeep up and going ?

 

Nope lol, still in ST George... I can't find time to go get it. I need to ASAP though.

 

Whats,wrong with it

 

I blew the top cap seal on the steering box. no one had one in stock(steering box), Toby gave me a box I drilled nad tapped it just need to get the gasket kit and run down there to grab it... no big deal just busy.

 

Cool man but sucks at the same time

 

I need new u joints for my d30 shafts. Any recommendations?

 

If you have the small joints get the better shafts (can't remember the year they changed) but you should have them, other wise there all pretty much the same unless your willing to spends 80$ + per joint.

I like precision u-joints for a good cheap joint

 

I think they changed in 98

 

If your xj isn't a abs model the shafts you want are from the xj/zj's that had abs. The easiest way to tell other than the cap size is look for the abs tone ring. The tone ring pops off with a hammer.
but like gorrila said precision super strengths is what I would run

 

I think I do have those bigger shafts because they don't look small. Ill keep those in mind thanks!

 

So the ones with ABS are bigger? But with those precision joints would that make my shaft break before the joints?

 

I prefer the joint break before the axle

 

the abs and non abs axleshafts are dang near exactly the same size but where the ujoin't ears are they are a little bigger... maybe.... only real difference I think.
and if you are worried about wheeking a dana 30 that you might be breaking axle shafst you should probably carry spare shaft's.


If the ujoint completely fails chances are its gonna break the axleshafts anyway's

 

Anyone got some decent 31x10.50 r15 tires kicking around? Don't need to be perfect just no weather rot and some tread required


Oh and cheap
