Default Axle upgrade help

Turns out my jeep didn't get totaled but they are having troubles finding the stock axle that needs replacing.

I am looking to get my jeep back ASAP and was planning on upgrading anyway. Where can I get a good price for axles? Anywhere I can get Rubi axles? I have to make a quick decision on what I am planning on doing so any help would be great!

Are you looking for the complete axle(s) or just the shafts?

Well, if they are being covered, you can get a set of custom axles made to whatever specs you want. I know that Northridge4x4 builds/sells them. But, if you have to get factory replacments, your dealership is about the only place you can get em.

Yea everybody is fine. It happened back around the 9th (time has merged lately and can't remember exactly when! ) Had a guy driving without lights nail me in the right side. Destroyed my suspension and fender well

I actually have a thread with the whole story over in JK talk. I posted here yesterday when they were still going to fix it. (feels weird linking to my own thread)

Don't know what you are looking for, but there are a couple of Jks for sale in the for sale section, both 2 and 4 door. Might take a look.
