I put my stock, rebuilt drveshft back on yesterday. No vibrations at 50mph (not gone faster on the roads around here). We'll se whatthe highway vibes are like. The Disco is nothing more than a second car / grocery getter / tow car, so I'm more than happy to stick with the stock shaft. How much damage can really be done with a 2003 anyway LOL

Reliability, not capability is most important to me and the stock shaft is one of those anomolies (may break going to the grocery, may hold up rock-hopping on 33s), so I guess I'm in that 10%.

Next, top-hat liner conversion!
