Alloy shafts have a 10-year warranty. I'd get new ones from wherever you bought 'em.

I also went ahead and purchased a new 30 spline Chomo G2 Rear Shaft kit from 4wheel parts - the complete kit for $303.99 with shipping. So hopefully I will now have a spare set, if everything goes as planned! Had to call in the order, as their website only listed the rear kit for Drum brakes... my kit part number is 96-2045-1-30 fyi.
I have never rebuilt the rear shafts --- How hard is it to do? I am planning to ask Bryan (the quarry) to help me with the install, since he has to do the same thing on his this week. Or MuJeeper, since he has a garage and was willing to help.

Mike, I know you mean well, but I don't think we need to call out club members that choose to skip a specific trail. He didn't feel comfortable on the trail, so he skipped it. No harm of shame in that. In hindsight I should have done the same thing, it would have saved me my rear end!
Making club members feel uncomfortable on trail rides is not good for the club membership, now or in the future. The club is open to all levels of jeepers and to criticize a member that showed up and wheeled, is bad form in my opinion.
Just my .02 (sorry to Rob for this being public)

I would be better off selling the whole jeep, and building another one with 1 tons --seeing the amount of additional fabrication it will take. So for know I plan on keeping them.
Unless you want to buy my TJ outright from me right now?

The axle seals on these guys are on the shaft, held in place by a pressed-on bearing. Not an easy trail fix.... so what I've always done is get the new seals & bearings ressed onto the axle shafts ahead of time, slip the bearing race down on them, and then wrap in a blanket to keep things from banging around in the truck box. When it's repair time on the trail, you pull the old one, take the race out of the axle tube with your finger, put the new race in, and slide the new shaft in.
With the seal/bearing pressed on ahead of time, I can change a rear shaft in just a few minutes. It's much easier than the 35, where you have to open the diff and pop out the c-clips to get the shafts out. A lot messier. :)
Dunno what part of town you're in, but you're welcome to come up to my place and I'll help you. PM me if you want directions.
