Where did all the good U-Joints go??? Marlin is out and doesn't have an ETA and All Pro is no longer stocking them either. OEM is $66 and I refuse to put TG ones on my truck. Anyone else have a suggestion?

I just bought a Matsuba from Lowrange. Came in like 2 days.

Yup, I bought Matsuba's from trail gear last year, havent broke em yet! Trail Gear is just a distributor of the Matsuba, nothing wrong with buying them from 'em. I think they are like $30. Not sure how much they are from lowrange like SqWAdoosh suggested.

lowrange usually has pretty rock bottom prices I find. $29

Precision is $15.99 at oreilly and lifetime warranty. You can buy 2. Keep one in the glove box for a spare, if you ever break one just hand it to them and get a new one.

Being local to high angle driveline, I just drive up to the shop. They have matsuba joints on the website as well.
My buddy who has a 4wd shop stocks and swears by the spicers.

Now looking I figured out this was the wrong area to put this. I'll have to look at low ranges stuff ad High angle. Never thought of those places
