at this point you're down to how long you plan to Keep the JK ?
2 CTM = 4 OEM if you change the OEM each 2 years you can get 8 years and a little less (shipping) before you get the to CTM moneys, you need to do the work here. If it was my choice CTM one time and be done with it.

WOL at some point you should come all the way up here too for some wheeling

Default CTM's

What makes the CTM's so special? Material? process? sealed? Strength? Any help would be appreciated. Oh and I plan to take the Jeep with me when I retire to Panama in 10 years.

One thought though. I do like working on the JK and if I buy the CTM's this doesn't allow me to practice my mechanical skills! I am not being serious here though lol. I hear what you guys are saying, CTM's provide a piece of mind and durability beyond the replacement U joints. That is a very good thing to consider. Maybe I'll drop the money for the CTM's, short term pain for long term gain right?

the CTM's are made stonger and use bronze bushings as opposed to needle bearing.
