I just want your opinion.

I installed a wagoneer front DS on my cj.

I cut it down and put it in place of my stock rear ds.

Anyone have any first hand experiance using on of these for the rear?

When I cut it down it seemed the wall thickness was decent.
Didnt eve balence it. It ran pretty true after i pressed and welded the yoke back on.

thoughts? Think it will hold up? Or should I get thicker tubing and redo it? Driving it around town and running 35's seem to be ok.

Its about 14" long total.

take care

Search.

very common

Both of my driveshafts are built out of others. We cut them into with the pipe cutter, cut the welds off the tubing with the lathe and true up all the surfaces then slide a new tube in and weld them down. I have twisted so called custom driveshafts from a truck center in the KC area but I have yet to twist one I have made. Plus if you swap yokes on a CJ t-case and use quadra-trac waggy front driveshafts you can have CV joints that flew like crazy.

I use one on my willys with arbs and 36's. Its been good the last two years. I wasnt sure how strong it would be so I made 2, but still on the 1st.

The qtrac cvs I have seen don't flex worth a crap. You can get more angle out of the sandard joint on the other end of the shaft.

Donno if theres a diff from the cj and fsj's Driveshafts but my waggy one can get a pretty good angle before it binds.

I'll put a a strap limiter on before that takes place
