Driveshaft help

RUBITANk · Feb 26, 2009

I am going to be coming back from Hawaii to Washington, in 5 days, my jeep is already in route on the ship, I need the CV replaced on my rear drive shaft, and the front lengthened about an inch. Anyone know how much this would cost me? And where I can get it done?
I will be living in Tacoma

Thanks for the help

Thats about right with balancing and a warranty. Figure most shops run abut $65- $85 per hour plus materials and taxes. Theres a bunch of guys here and everywhere that will do it cheaper but I prefer having such things done by a pro with the right tools and abilitys. I have Aukeen drivelines in my jeep and had them in my race rig as well. Never had one break. Its all in what its worth to you as you drive your rig down the freeway at 70mph or try to crawl up a ledge. Me personaly I dont want my driveline to fail at these times:eeek:

my front, i can care less about.... its the rear d/s that the cv needs a rebuild bad! I have a double cv d/s built by jesse at highangle... The CV ball at the T-case end its very loud and vibrates really bad, i am suprised i made it down to the port without the D/s Granading on the freeway, Just turned my radio all the way up so i couldnt hear the noise, so i would stop worrying about it lol!!! :eeek::eeek::eeek:
but some how some way i made it!!!

And I'm betting this time next year, Boonie builds his own...:cheer:

Drivelines NW....OVERPRICED GARBAGE!!!!

I've had FLEETPRIDE in Tacoma build all of mine. 6 years, dual cases, and 37's...ZERO problems. They are located just down the hill from Olympic Offroad, by the TPD station/old Costco.
