did you ever get that steering box from me, or is it still sitting in my storage closet?

No, probably still there.
If you need the bearing send me your address and i will ship them to you
Creighton, you have done stuff with that jeep that would make a goat go "holy ****!"
I ordered a set of Yukon 4340 front axle shafts and u-joints a while back. I tried putting them together today, and one of the u-joints won't fit. It is apparent that the joints had been returned before, and soon will be again. Even the one that fits doesn't seem of decent quality.
So now I need some different joints. What are the thoughts of running stock joints with the 4340 shafts? Are CTMs or Longfields the only other options?
most shaft manufacturers make better joints now

CTMs have gone up a lot in price in the last few years... dont know if it is the same across the board

Finally got around to disassembling the rear axle. I had a little breakage in Arizona and we pulled out mysterious pieces with a magnet, then the magnet got stuck.
Looks like the shaft took out the bearing journal on the carrier, and also the inner race of the bearing. Glad I wasn't planning to reuse that carrier. Had to pull it because I need the gears to put on the detroit for the front.

I'm eliminating unlockable hubs. Got to have some way to let the front unlock for highway cruising.
it's like I don't even know you anymore
