I just put Moog super strength greasables in my rebuilt XJ shaft that i'm going to use for my HnT SYE. it you go with MOOG, the parts guy will tell you that there are 2 different part numbers...369 and 280. THEY ARE THE SAME with the exception of the grease fitting locations. 280 have them in the bearing cap, 369 are in the middle of the joint. I went with 280's for all 3 joints.

I run weak stock Spicer U-Joints, I like keeping my week point my U-Joint because its the easiest thing to fix on the trail. Go snap an axle shaft in browns camp on university falls and tell me i'm wrong.

First off, he said U-JOINTS, not WHEEL JOINTS. Learn proper part names if your going to have an ******* response like that. No you do not have to pull axle shafts for U JOINTS you have to pull them for WHEEL JOINTS. And as I previously stated, go snap an axle shaft and tell me im wrong. an hour at the most to fix a U JOINT on the trail, walk home for an axle shaft. ****ing keyboard crawlers

I've heard them called wheel joints and axle joints before. I believe some parts books refer to them as wheel joints for ease of knowing which u-joint you are referencing.
