Axle:
So I got my new driveshaft today. I went with a rebuilt one from Carolina Driveline. $154 including shipping. All new components and it looks sharp. Had some trouble getting the caps on the ubolts into the flange adapter... Stupid needles!!! I had to go buy a new u-joint and just swapped out the bad caps. All the control arms are all nice and tight and the pinion angle couldn't be better. Then, as I'm coming home from my happy wrench fest at the hobby shop, the shock mount that Alex tack welded brakes, and I drag my shock the last half mile home. So I called Alex and told him what happened. Then I asked him what he was doing tomorrow to which he promptly replied, "helping you fix your jeep". ;D

Okay, got a better to way to fix the problem and found out that alot of people with tj's and xj's do this. My lift salesman said it would work and that alot of did it when I asked. Weld a bolt to the mount so that instead of screwing a bolt up into the nut, you have a stud sticking down and screw the nut on. Axle this is what I want to try if you want to. We just need the bolts and nuts. I have some, but if we could get some assistance from another club member, we need quality like grade eight, or I'll just buy them.
