Default Front drive shaft cv boot tron

Recently changed oil on the JK and noticed that the front drive shaft cv joint boot was torn. So now I know its only a matter of time before I hear some funny noises. I recently accepted a new job back home in Colorado. So now in order to make the drive from Indy to CO I'll be buying a new drive shaft. Just wondering which one is the best bang for the buck. I saw wayoflife's write up on the coast 1310 and seams like the direction I wanta go. Jeep is mostly just a daily driver. Thank's for the advice!

Be sure to remove the old boot and clamps. It eliminates any unbalanced shaft problems.that's what i did.

He's talking cv boot guys, not the slip joint boot. The coast shaft has gotten good reviews. I have a tattons shaft and haven't had any issues.

Thanks dcharge74, looks like its compairable to the coast and a little cheaper.
