lol, you gotta know me to understand my mean spirited sarcasm. Johnny is good sh#t, and knows his ZJ's. god knows hes gutted enough of them to know whats what.He is correct on the f/r swap problems though.
Getting grumpier every day.

And true.

JohnnyZJ died a long time ago.... He saw the light, he should be JohnnyYJ now.
if we were smart with our money we wouldn't own Jeeps.
Here's your cup of STFU... ENJOY!

morerpmfred: Fantastic lead!

So, just in case anyone cares - I put the front driveshaft back on tonight.  It does vibrate a little, but not ridiculous like the CV used to.  The rear is still my primary issue, but if this guy has them I'll hit him up for sure for them.

Thanks guys.  Far more responses here than in the national Jeep forums.  Hope to meet some of you soon, as my build is almost complete.  (To start, anyway)

So I picked up those adjustable JKS uppers and installed them last night.  Of course, you were right Johnny... it did solve the problem.

The main vibes remaining are coming out of the front now.  Sometimes a little drone at various speeds, and a definite rumble when I add or let off the gas.  It's much improved though, and I'll live with it as-is for a bit.  As my offroad-only vehicle, I can live with a few vibes and I can't imagine it will be THAT detrimental to my Ujoints for occasional use only.
