Teraflex are made by Tatton, and they are good driveshafts - I run them. I think my next set will be Coast. JE Reel makes a good set too. I think Teraflex shafts are the best value, but not the best shaft.

I would probley get 1310's, that way your DS is your weak link, not your axle shafts

X2. That is exactly what I said. Keep a couple 1310s in the cubby.

I have trouble with some of the logic here. First 1350 u-joints aren't huge! they are slightly bigger than a 1310. I carry a couple of spares myself. And as far as the 'rather break a u-joint' statement, I personally know three people who lost a drive shaft u-joint. Two in 4x4's and one in a car. The two 4x4 lost d/s u-joints and fragged there t-cases. Not a cheap 'break'. The one car was on the freeway and when it went,it spun him around for the ride of his life. Also I have seen many posts of twisted JK stock driveshafts runningh with the CV joints, so there is no guarantee that u-joints will save anything.

I think you should wave had us vote on woods or reel. That would have been interesting.
