Just going to keep an eye on how much grease I'm slinging. Eventually I'll just pull the shaft until I can get a new DS in the next couple weeks or so.

My new ones will be here next week. I don't have any pics of my previous ones. They use all the same spicer components as the big boys, just made to order so no inventory. Google them, you will find their site.

Yes I sold the big blue one, did a mild build on a 14 jkur but sold it as the manual was causing issues at home. I now have an 07 jkur that I am re-building.

Just call the number and you will talk to one of the three guys (Matson, Will, or... I forget his name). Will is great. Pretty sure the guy would take a bullet for me.
