RobertMcC Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Prob more than you think for a new axel less then 300$ I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Cheapest one I found was 299, plus kinda hard to just pull that much money out and drop on parts nowadays. Especially where it might not just be the shaft to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForcesJK07 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Axle cannot be that $$$$ just buy one. You call APJ or CVO, or Pat at his shop? Im going to try and replace it with the RCV axle for my D30. So My guess is around 1100+. And no, never got around to calling them yet, been busy and exhausted. Was up at 330 to walk my *** to the Stadacona to Unlock one of the buildings haha. Miss my Jeep :( Its a pretty damn excuse, how goes the hunt for an axle? Just saving up the dough, I need to replace the ball joints as well. Might as well get a decent set of those while Im at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForcesJK07 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 To add to my bill I also have to replace my cracked windshield so I can get my Jeep inspected and registered in NS. Its a good thing I love my Jeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Know the feeling, if I didn't love mine it woulda been gone long ago. Funny how that happens. RCV axles will do you good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't hurt to have it up and running so you can drive it in the meantime. I also messaged someone else on what to do in the meantime until you find an axle, so you can still drive it.

4x4Mckay Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 year newer XJ, or JK?? JK. until 2006 an XJ/TJ axel was equivalent. They changed in '07. ^ correction. Year OLDER. I always mess that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertMcC Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I just don't see paying 1100+ plus for a axle worth it, when you can get 3 or 4 regular for that. CV axles are weird, they can last forever or fail in 10mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97 cherokee Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Yeah but RCV is warranty for life no question asked but still a lot of money for a poor little D30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertMcC Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Yeah but RCV is warranty for life no question asked but still a lot of money for a poor little D30 Yeah considering you can get a few Dana 44 Axles for that much, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Yeah considering you can get a few Dana 44 Axles for that much, Food for thought... $1200 for RCVs(for both sides, and NEVER need to buy new axles. VERY hard to break (unless you're Jeff Hiltz ;) ) with 35" tires, even witha locker. $200 for OEM (low side of price) and easy to break, even without a locker. Multiply this by 6, and you just paid the same as a set of RCVs. And you will continue to pay. I have seen Darren snap 2 axles in one day at Sweetland with the old 'Chief. And he did it again at the mud bogs last summer. If he had a JK he would be WELL past the cost of a set of RCVs (he has broke more than 4); because JK axles are not as plentiful as XJ/TJ/YJ axles. So now I ask you... Is the piece of mind worth the expense? If I had th $$$, I would get them. Give Peck's a call in Digby and talk to Tracy or Jason. They'll look after you with AND especially after the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
