In the market for axle shafts? Which ones?
So I snapped passenger axle joint on my D30 which hogged out the ears. I got a new joint in it and welded the caps in because the clips wouldnt seat. Now I have been researching front shafts and there is so many options. I like the thoughts of rcv's, but is anyone running them on a dd in the winter with salt on the roads, and they are alot of coin... I wheel about once a month in the summer and not as much in the winter but I hate to break down when I am so far from home. I think regular chromo shafts will prolly work. Whats everyones experiences with shafts in the 30. Are you guys still snapping aftermarket shafts and which brand is best? Thanks!

Thanks David from north ridge and WOL I think you just made up my mind. Northridge, I bought my R&P's from you guys and you were excellent to deal with. I will be calling you shortly. When does this sale run out?

You ever consider buying a used Rubi D44 off someone, complete with r&p to match your rear and with elocker? I just sold mine with RCV's $1500. Plenty of JK Rubi's converting to D60's or ProRock44's

Yeah it has definitely crossed my mind, I have been looking around the for sale section. When they pop up they are gone pretty quick. I also am in ny and most seem to be out west.
