Not knocking Tom Woods, but I did read that his is primarily for off-roading and if you use your Rover on the highway that is is not good for hgihway speeds.

I got the flange for my 98DI rear d/s from Paul Grant for an excellent price.

Have you tried him?

If you are just concerned with the greasable u-joints, any local driveshaft shop should be able to take care of that without having to pay for shipping as well.

My front and rear has seemed to do pretty well for the past 80,000-90,000 miles.

"If you have no lift on the vehicle, you are probably best served with the stock type drive shaft. If you have a lift on the vehicle you may want to consider a different design."

Directly from the Tom Woods website. They are great products but there is nothing wrong with a rebuilt stock prop shaft for most people. Just sayin....

I don't have a DC front driveshaft on hand at the moment and I recently sold the last DII front flange to enable the use of the factory DII driveshaft on a DI. There are a lot of people doing what you're doing so those set ups sell quickly. Give Marty Powell a call at 270-576-7922. He may be able to hook you up with the parts you need.
