Default Front axle u-joints for JK Rubicon?

I'm not really finding anything available outside of the dealer which I'm sure will have to be ordered.

Does anybody know if spicer/precision is making the front axle u-joint yet for these Rubi's.

I'm trying to go back together with the ball joints and noticed that axle joints were bad and am now without wheels until I find one, so if anybody knows how to get em quick... I'm listening.

I'm just not finding anything and I can't believe that after 5 years, there is no aftermarket source for this u-joint.

Seriously... Nobody has changed one yet?

I was just going to say Northridge has the spicers.......some of us local Canadian guys got them from you David

I replaced one on the trail with WOL in Cali, and the other when I got home.....seemed like all of us Canucks needed them on our Rubi's.....will do them every 2 years from now on On our MapleHoney run in Cali last summer two of us blew front u-joints, and a couple more were about to go
