Default Coast Driveshaft

Front Driveshaft is giving up after a heavy weekend of wheeling.

I see the new direct replacement driveshafts from Coast(I don't have to replace the yoke)and they look good. Are they as strong as the others that replace the flange. Anybody got an opinion? I need one soon.


Anybody had any problems out of these, or would you reccomend another company?

i ran one for awhile before getting my D60 and it worked great. being that i have a 6-speed, there is a bracket on the tub that made contact with the double cardin just a bit but i was able to trim that off without any problems. on an auto, it won't be a problem at all.

That's a rather modest way of describing your climbing adventures this weekend.

I'd loved to have heard the explanation you gave the Misses - "Honey, have you been roughing up the Jeep during your drives to the mall? I noticed the front end making popping noises when I was out on the trail this weekend."

ckivy attracts a crowd climbing an extreme buggy trail.


ckivy back at it again the next day.

Been running the Coasts with adapters on my 08 Unlimited Rubi for about a year...they are great. Enjoy!

I've seen that guy wear a similar shirt on other rides - this at Mountainside ORV Park. He must be affiliated (he's always getting in the middle of pictures during the best wheeling action).

I always find the right place to be, on the side lines seeing what not to do!
