Buy cheap OEM u joints and in 15 min you are back rolling again while your buddy with the CTM u joints is trying to figure out how he is gonna get a new ring gear and get it installed 100 miles from nowhere.


I'm running Warn Chromo shafts with CTM's and using the Warn small hub kit as a fuse. I'm not to worried about my ring and pinion and I'd rather take 5 minutes to replace a hub than an hour to pull an axle shaft to get at and replace a $15 dollar u-joint.

Sorry, I meant in my drive shafts not the axles. Should have made that clear.

I like it.

Build it how you want.

Just a question - is keeping them both as is an option?
I suppose it could be, but mostly I am jammed for room. 2 car garage that is mostly full of tools n stuff.

I really don't do much rock crawling anymore other than Moab and places like that. But the run down to the local beat-your-jeep acres and hammer away is mostly gone. For no other reason other than it just lost the challenge and fun.

Somebody will want the ole Cowboy to crawl with. I am going to take off the f/r bumpers, supercharger, axles, tires and wheels and that is mostly it.
