The last CV you'll ever need....maybe

The consensus is then:

Light a fire under T4B to light a fire under RCV!!!

GAME ON!!!

I've owned mine four about 5 months. Have not been on any trails yet - but soon. I have replaced the ball loints, tie rod ends, steering gear, left front cv half shaft, shocks and tires and wow what a difference this maintenance has made. I am replacing the passenger side shaft with green cup this week cause some dum dum put a tripod style cv joint/cup on BUT do you all really go through joints this often? No exaggerations? Where are they breaking? If its at the inner cup maybe that is worn such that your replacements don't last.

I have only broke 2 joints, and a third on the way. I went through multiple boots, now I dropped the diff, so hopefully won't have to do that anymore. The aftermarket CVs are junk. Broke two on one wheeling trip. The OEM CVs are crazy expensive, hence the anticipation of getting the RCV joints.

(Oh, the shafts broke on the two I snapped, so not a tulip fitting issue)

Mine was a reworked CV joint. I noticed that the balls were binding slightly in the cage after it was reworked. It was just a matter of time.

RCV has my spare set (to reverse engineer them). Even if RCV takes a while to build ours, if I can get mine back soon ...

I have the diff drops on mine as well so once I've got a good set in place, I don't expect further problems ... of course that's what I thought when I had the originals rebuilt

Recognize that these two are among the most aggressive wheelers on the board...worst case scenario.

Aggressive? Me?
