Well, I am out of wheelin until I get this issue resolved...
I noticed today, while poking around under the truck, (getting an idea for some skid plates), I discovered that on my pass side, I am missing two caps on that ujoint, and on the driver's side, I am missing one. This must have just happened recently, because the driver's side still had needle bearings peppered all around.
I think those ends are pretty much done, I will probably have to get some new axle inners. They are pretty wallered out. I have outers already. Dammit. Welcome to the world of 4 wheelin, right?
Anyone have some spare inners they would like to get rid of? Need ones for a driver drop, mid 80s Waggy D44.
Guess tires are on hold, till I get new shafts. AARGH.

Thanks. I found a company online that is selling a complete set of chromo shafts (2 outers, 2 inners) for 400 bux, free shipping. I may just use this as an opportunity/excuse to upgrade. I was also looking at the CTM U-Joints. If I go this route, I know I will be down until at least september to put it all together. I wanted to run Chareleau Gap too. Maybe just buy some Spicer 760x U Joints, get the chromo axles, and be done with it.

You might not be able to run with your rig but I am sure that there is plenty of open seats if you would like to go kill a day, hey it beats just sitting around watching the tube or cleaning ;D

Yeah, maybe. I do know my dad asked me to come up to Phx, and help him out with some stuff. Who knows, I may get lucky, and find some shafts just laying around somewhere. I am calling the shop that did my gear install, and see if he has any laying around... you never know. If not, I may just wait for the weekend, and order the chromo shafts

I called my gear guy, and he says he thinks he has some lying around. I asked if I can just trade him my pass-drop waggy axle (without knuckels), and he said sure... so we'll see. I have to talk to him tomorrow, and we will root around his yard, and see what we can come up with. He said he will also see about finding a good price on chromoly shafts.
