You are right. Identical down to the gold seal universals.

And yet dearer than importing direct or from Jeep Konnection

My Disco is back on the road and feels brand new with the replacement drive shaft. All thanks to Roverland Ferntree Gully. Top job and fantastic service. I highly recommend.

Heads up to anyone interested in getting a tom woods shaft, jeepkonnection (procomp) is about to get 15 of them from the states, $580 + postage. I already have mine ordered

Thanks Rocky88. I've had a sloppy DC join (with good uni's) for the last 30k ... so I ordered a TW shaft thru JK today. They now have 13 left. $580 + $24.50 postage.

I emailed Tom Wood for a quote ... $389US + $175US shipping + $5US packaging = $569US .... about $550AUD ... not worth the hassle & wait so I ordered locally.

I asked the guy at JK why the Jeep business does D2 front shafts ... they are personal friends of Tom Wood, and since they already use TW shafts for Jeeps, Tom was getting lots of enquiry & orders for D2 front shafts, so asked JK to carry them ... I told him I thought it was a little strange, going to a Jeep business for my D2 spares ...

.... waiting
