Front Drive Shaft Update

[TCMColorado]

No doubt we are all looking for a definitive solution but given the JMACX font shaft has a single u-joint at the pinion it will be a compromise based on the physics of how u-joints work.

Here is an idea. For those going to Moab. If someone wants to test drive an Agile shaft let me know. Guess it looks like Steel Bender for me this year. So if anyone is running that trail with me we could arrange a test drive on the way there or back as well. I am going to see if John can drag some new shafts down.

The question is not whether Agile's shaft will work in Moab - it will just fine.
It is how long a trip it is going to be for John from Santee to Moab.

For owners who have no issue with mild vibrations at highway speeds the Agile shaft is a great solution. It is plenty strong and has no boots that can fail. It simply does not run as smooth as the OEM shaft with CV joints. The vibrations will introduce a bit more stress into the pinion seal and the output seal of the transfer case but it would be minimal and not likely a cause for concern.
