remanufactured driveshaft is much cheaper but anyone know its its going to be reliable? i dont use 4x4 that much, just in the winter. and a little wheeling a few times a year.

honeslty for the amount you use it, that will be fine. If the first one last 9 years so will the next one. As long as that boot doesn't rip they will last a longggg time. Think about how much you use 4wd. 1-2% of the time? You will be fine with that. I got a reman'ed one for mine as well.

Wow! those are some dirty *****!

Sorry - couldn't resist.

You did the right thing & doesn't it feel better doing it your self than paying someone a ton of $$ for that?
