[QUOTE="GP Noir, post: 447524, member: 22885"] On a Jeep with that many klicks, I’d make certain the condition of the driveshafts, axle shafts (particularly the u joints), unit bearings (wheel bearing assemblies) and the brakes. If it’s a manual, replace the inner shift boot. It’s not a matter of if these items need to be addressed, but when. When the driveshaft Rzeppa joints (CVs) wear out, don’t waste your money getting them replaced. Don’t waste your money at all on the factory driveshafts. Replace them with aftermarket double cardan driveshafts. Adams driveshafts are excellent and what I use in my Wrangler. Have the undercarriage cleaned up and treated with an anti corrosion coating and plan to have the coating renewed annually. [/QUOTE]
