This is more of a write-up than a show-off. That's really awesome! You're the first one on here that I've seen with these shafts and I guarantee you won't be the last! They are sweet!

I might be the first to have photo proof of these shafts installed, but I know someone else on here received his a day or two before me (I'm probably just faster on the upload.)
They are pretty sweet.

Very nice, I installed my RCV Performance/Longfield axles on Saturday but we just re-used the plastic seal. I may have to look into the Evolution solution.

So far, so good, with mine . . . going to go wheelin' this weekend . . . so, I guess we'll see how they hold up.

sweet!! nice shafts and nice write-up. them cv's are super strong and i seriously doubt they'll break for anything. now all you gotta do is hope they never break at the shaft like my chromo shaft did. of course, that break ended up ruining my whole axle.

SoCal_JK_2dr, I will be getting some similar axle seals soon since the OEM plastic disks are a JOKE! The slightest amount of water will definitely make its way down the axle tube.
I was wondering if the axle, with the boot already instaled, would fit through the hole in the steering kuckle? When I installed my CV axles the passenger side boot was seperated from the axle so we inserted the boot first into the tube and then slid the axle shaft through the steering knuckle. But now that everything is installed, I essentialy have to remove them and re-install it to get the axle seals in there. I can't remember if the diameter of the knuckle hole is larger enough to slide the axle + boot through. I know I can remove the knuckle like you did but if I can get around that step then all the better.
