Default Tatton's Driveline

After I tore a boot I ordered a ds from him off ebay because it was way cheaper than anyone else. I put it on and NO vibrations. It is a good shaft for the money. Just thought I would post so if you are considering one you should go for it.

I can't type Fixed the op to say no vibrations. I did not have any problems with this shaft and would buy it again.

I'm running a Tatton on the rear of my 2 door. I've been 100% satisfied. I got it shipped to my door in 2 days for $425!

I have no experience with Tatton's other than what I seen posted here. I have always used Tom Woods shafts, but I've been reading good things about others including Tatton and J.E. Reel which seem very popular in SoCal.

However, at $425 you can get a Woods for $20-30 more.

Agreed, I have Woods shafts front and rear, but if the Tatton is working for you right on.

My local 4x4 shop used to be a Tom Woods dealer, but has since switched over to Tatton. He uses Tatton day in and day out and gets custom shafts made all the time by him. He only ever had 1 issue with him and it was very early on. He recommends them without any hesitation and told me that for the money, there is no better driveshaft out there. They are whatI plan to run when my JK goes into his shop for gear install and a locker. And he's only charging me $160 per axle for the gear and locker installs!

Mine was a lot cheaper than $425!
Then again, I bought my Tatton DS over 3 years ago....
Moab tested. No problems so far! I don't expect any either....
He is local and installed mine himself for cheap!

why pay even 20-30 dollars more when the tatton is just as good quality.
