Not to be a bastard but:
at least update your Profile to include your jeeps specs.
just a little more info needed.
Anyway, if it is a pre-97 you could pry use 97 axle shafts. They use bigger U-joints

His Gallery shows a 92.

Just to clear things up:
Any ABS equipped XJ will have the larger 297 joints vs. the smaller 267/760x joints. Any ZJ with non-CV shafts will also have the larger u-joints.

The OP stated that the shafts are breaking, not the u-joint. This indicates that he's either:
Wheeling some severe terrain.
Has his wheels turned when against an obstacle and snaps a shaft when power is applied.
Has an abnormally heavy right foot.


The solutions are simple.
Wheel on milder trails.
Approach obstacles as straight as possible.
Fill your Air Jordans with helium to relive the excess pressure on the skinny pedal.

Another option that should be considered is installing alloy shafts and bomb-proof u-joints. CTM's are a good choice but you'll have to part with two extremities and your first born male child for a set.
