Has anyone heard of hotwhitepot.com

I have always been told if it sounds to good to be true then it probably is!

Anyone heard of this???

I've never heard of that but when all the first hits when searching about that site are "scam" related, it's not a good sign. I'd pass. Reminds me of a time I found new Yeti coolers for sale on redonk cheap price on a website called "artsandcrafts.com" or something similar. I was 95% sure it was a scam but I had CC protection to fall back on. Sure enough, it was a scam. Had to file with my CC company, got refunded, and never saw anything else about it. Cooler never showed up at my house either.

I'm 99.9% sure the OP meant rzeppa, which is just the CV joint on the factory driveshaft.

Oh ok that makes sense. And I'm assuming a "high angle" one would be for when you're lifted right?

Yes. The factory DS can't handle the handle when lifted and becomes a ticking time bomb. What happens is actually pretty simple. The boot protecting the joint will rip and then allow all the grease to sling out on the underside of the tub. The joint will dry out and you'll soon hear the typical clicking sound of a dead CV joint. Most people will then go to an aftermarket driveshaft that is thinner in diameter and offers more clearance with the exhaust crossover. Some folks will to with the Teraflex high angle rzeppa and just replace the joint on the factory shaft.
