I have a rugged ridge drive shaft front and back for 2 yrs now and not one problem. Greased every 5,000 at oil change time.

if you search you will see that many hard-core off-roaders recommend Coast or upgrading any other shaft to have quality U joints vice the failure prone Chinese crap. You will see claims from all kinds of folks that the brand they have has lasted years without problems. You will find many complaints about those brands too. I plan to go with Coast when my seals fail. ORW recommends them too.

1310 Coast from Northridge. Have heard way too many of the Tom Woods horror stories lately.
