I was suprized as hell that I filled my return, and a week later I had the $. I ordered enough stuff to rebuild the whole rear axle, now ujoints for the front, and gears front and back for under $550. Sweet deal. What size gears did u choose?

Do you have a parent who can order it for you?

hey guys just figured id post my u-joint creation
basically all three joints are (were) the same...
the one on the left is for the front of the drive shaft, it will fit fine just like it is, and that is how it looks right out of the box
the one in the middle is the one i created for the rear, as you can see all four caps are the same with the grooves in them, the one on the right is the spare now, that is the joint that donated its two groved caps to the joint in the middle...
so i took my digital caliper and measured up the yoke on the diff and through simple math and measurements/compariosons i have determined this u-joint (the one in the middle) will work just fine...beauty!

to me they look like 1330s, the one on the left is a commom one to have at the axle with the U bolt style yoke. the two caps without the groves are a tinny bit thicker to keep them from getting crushed when titening the u bolts.. the middle one you "made" is a "strait up" 1330, and the one on the left is a useless "b-a-s-t-a-r-d" now....
