So did you notice what kinda shafts you are running?

[Rock Dawg]

yes they are 27 spline like stock ones, but have cleaner lines and little Dimonds symbles on them? I was able to put my stock ones in as a test with no problems, but the ones I have look different, and bigger around the base of the Ujoint.

I don't know the brand name of the axles but other then that they look stock.

I replaced my turn signal switch (Multifuntion switch) last night.



My turn signal and Hi/low beam lights were giving me greef. They would work, but I would have to kinda coax them and wiggle the blinker switch around a little.

It was an easy 30 minute install that makes my driving experiance a pleasure again.

Your axles maybe black diamond made by warn.

I think all the dana axles have diamonds on them just like the dana emblem.

Thanks guys.

I was told they could be life time guaranteed? If so, what would I need to do if I broke one of them? I don't have any paperwork on them..

I will look at both websites for the axles and see if I can recognize them from any pictures.

Thanks again,

[Rock Dawg]

Also, FYI... my stock replacement axle shafts do not have the dimonds on them and you can see the casting marks around the U-joints on the stock ones, but with the ones in my jeep, I don't see casting marks around the U-joints and they have the diamond symbles.

If you don't have paper work you are probably screwed, at least I think that's how it is when you have Yukons, I don't know about the shafts you have.

[Rock Dawg]

I think you are correct. I did some calling and was told that the limited lifetime guarentee is non transferable. So I just will not brake them :-)..

Damn those are some tough 27 spline shafts.. You put ALOT of weight on them plus playing in the rocks and being locked up... I weas thinking I needed the 30 spline shafts but I think I'l just grab a set of replacement shafts and not worry about it.

Yes I was suprised as well. I think the ARB is helping me not brake them?

I'm needing some new hyme joints...



I called Skyjacker and found out they are male 3/4"by 2" long thread (Need right and left handed ones) and the eye area are also 3/4". Evedently they have reducers that go in them to reduce them down to the 1/2" eye bolts and 10 MM thread bolts?

I tried calling balistic today to see if their hymes were interchangeable, but the phone number no longer works..

[Rock Dawg]

I ordered the ¾ by 16tpi that have a ¾ hole. I HOPE that is the same thread pitch as my bars... The sales guy said it would be the same.

I should be getting in 5 RT and 4 LT Hymes this weekend to rebuild my top 4-links and other half of my track- bar.

I believe the link below is close to what I ordered, but not exact as the thread pitch appears to be different.

Is it still OK to give out a credit card out over the phone? I only ask because I have not received an confirmation e-mail yet. I hope it doesn't come back and bite me.

Any advise about making sure the axle doesn't move when replacing the hymes? I was planing using a ratchet strap to hold them in place and only doing one 4-link at a time.

So this must mean your tires are off then?...... Maybe if I get my hi hood done I might be able to see if your 39's fit?.....

[Rock Dawg]

No Tires are still on it, but we can take one off and see if they will work for you once your Hi Hood is done.
