Hello again everyone. I just want everyone to know that I don't condone or engage in bashing a competitor's product. I've swapped u-joints in a couple of Tom Woods drive shafts over the past few years and I saw no
I think you hit submit to soon

I am with you TRIARII,
Different strokes for different folks. I do not off road my Discovery. This upgraded shaft is perfect for me.
Tired of all the mud slinging at this driveshaft. (coming from one member in particular)
We should glad that there is another good option to replace your old worn out driveshaft.

Thanks man.
Another option for people who want the best of both worlds (IE: on-road & off-road) is to buy "2" new prop-shafts. One intended for on-road use and the other a heavy duty shaft intended purely for off-road use. Shafts are somewhat easy to switch out and you will always have a backup in emergencies.
BUT for most of us who seldom go off-road, 1 prop-shaft is quit good enough to suit all our needs and Justins products are just one of those options. To each his own. Peace to everyone and best of luck to all businesses that strive to help us maintain and keep our beloved Rovers on the road. GBR, Tom Woods, Propshafts LLC or any other companies for that matter. Lets just be thankful that people are making these great products for us. Back when I had my Saab one of the biggest issues was finding replacement parts.... many parts were discontinued and no one was making them for us. (particularly the NSS switch..........). So again lets just be thankful.
PS: Honestly I never realized how much attention these prop-shaft threads get and how heated the debates can be... Yes I'm fully aware of the notorious Genuine prop-shaft failure and I take it very seriously just like the rest of you but these threads can get pretty intense lol.

Lol yes. My fingers don't always agree with the Android keyboard. I meant to say that I saw no problem with the build quality of their shafts. However, I retain complete confidence in the workmanship that goes into my products. Thanks again Army Rover, you've been a big help.

Just curious as to how long have you been around Land Rovers? I started with a D90 in 1995...
Justin, keep it real, sell it as a better than stock, medium duty DS and you'll be good

With everything...
There will be differences in opinion. (hell, we can't even agree on what the best type of oil to use is...Shell Rotella T6 BTW LOL)
That is all it is, and why these forums are here and so helpful. I would never say that Justin's Driveshaft is the better than the others, because I have never owned the others.
I own one of Justins.
All I know-
It is much better than the original rebuilt fully serviceable one I had prior...and that makes me happy.

I can't thank everyone enough for the advice and input. This has been entertaining and informing at the same time. Someone warned me that I'd be put through the wringer due to past misinformation about my company and products and you guys definitely didn't disappoint, haha. Thanks again so much!

My stock "Genuine" shaft is still in tact and no hole in my transmission - 131K! Once I get Justins propshaft installed I will re-grease it and again every 3,000 miles while doing my oil change. If it fails I would be very surprised Honestly I dont think it will. Not everyone wants to add the extra weight or spend the extra $45+ on a heavy duty propshaft. Not everyone takes their Rovers off-road. $45 can go a long way and saving every penny is worth it 
Different people have different needs.

I really hope you check your driveshafts more often than "every once and while"
Guru...can't say, I've seen the TW stuff survive some pretty stupid ****, on weekend warrior rigs. I'm basing this on "actual, real world" experience...
Whatever

What mudslinging? Good luck, you over paid for something that any driveline shop in america can make in your hometown from off the shelf parts. If reality hurts, sucks to be you. Your the guy's making a mountain out of mole hill...

Again you bash Justin's shaft by saying we overpaid for it? C'mon dude. $300 to the doorstep is solid.
I have been in a Land Rover for about 10 years now. And that is important because....?
