Default ..:: The Rotoflex Situation ::..

Hello Roverers!

I'm needing to replace the Rotoflex on my 2002 Disco SII SE, and the there's a long list of brands out there ranging up to $150!

Has any of you used the ÜRO PARTS option? I know that its low price should speak for itself, but would like to know your experiences with it, is it worth it?

My truck is basically used for commuting between home & work; no off-roading or towing for this Disco.

Your input will be greatly appreciated, thanks! ;-]#

I would skip URO in general, pay a few extra bucks and get an allmakes

IMHO, ONLY buy a German made GKN Roto: TVF100010G. The rest are cheap for a reason....
Buy one from L8, RovahFarm, etc. just specify you want a GKN. You'll be glad you did!

+1! Yes Sir! GKN FTW!!
A year ago I bought a GKN and the bolts and I keep it in Myrtle for that "just in case" moment.

Thanks Ben, I just received an email from Steve confirming they sell the Allmakes brand; I'll have to decide between the nearly $80, or the $145 (GKN)... ;-]#

Thanks Army! I hear ya, the nearly 40 bucks URO brand might not stand a chance against the nearly 80 bucks from Allmakes; then again, I've been reading a lot about coughing up more money and go with GKN (+/- $145)... ;-]#
