Default Any info on they guys selling this $295 (shipped) drive shaft?

Has anyone heard of these Dynamic Driveline? they sell a fully greaseable front driveshaft on ebay for $295 shipped, which is about $100 less than Great Basin rovers, or anyone else I have found. They say they use Neapco parts. I am thinking of pulling the trigger.

I bought one of these a couple of weeks ago. Went on easy and appears to be a very solid unit. So far no problems in a couple of hundred miles.

Yes its a great product and i have used this prop shaft for 30k no problems. Justin stands behind his product and it is a simple change out already balanced. Great product.

Buy the one from GBR's, it is stronger then the factory unit and no parts from China.

Mike you know i value your opinion, but i would have to disagree with you on this subject and say that is unproven info, there are no accurate test to prove either way. This is is no way a factory prop shaft. Also what part on this component is made in china???

Any part of a cheap drive shaft can come from China, be it the tubes, u-joints and or centering ball.
If you want proof that Bill's drive shafts are strong , then give him a call and he will tell you the advantages of both of his replacement shafts. If for no other reason then he uses a serviciable centering ball, is a good enough reason to buy his.

Exactly, my centering ball is serviceable! And not one single part on this prop shaft is from anywhere but the USA! Also i would recommend you get yourself one and then give it a rating? I can tell you bill makes a good products. But holding one in each hand i can see no reason why one would break before the other, i would be interested to see a true test. Only thing i see is one company has higher overhead and higher prices

Yeah I agree with LR2001, I wouldn't argue with build quality until you've used one. I have one of the dynamic shafts en route and will be studying it pretty hard before it gets installed.
