Wow, that's super cheap. I'd be interested to hear about any experience anyone has had with this setup. Looks like a good deal money wise!

wow...yeah that is super cheap.... and I like how they give you the option of buying the pieces or the whole kit... AND they even give you the option of buying the drillbits/tap! wow! I'm def. writing this down...been saving for a SYE but it seems this is a better deal!

Wow that's a hell of a deal. That $99 for the DS alone is well worth it. I mean it costs that much in rebuild parts alone to rebuild one. $15-$20 per ujoint and $40 for the centering ball yoke..

not as good of a deal as you may think. heres the quote from the site
With this kit, we provide a used XJ/ZJ/TJ front driveshaft that has been cleaned, inspected, painted and the slip yoke side u-joint replaced.
so basically they take a junkyard driveshaft, clean it up, replace 1 u-joint, paint it and sell it for 100 bux.

Good find..I didn't notice that..Still you could buy just the HNT for $119 and then get a JY DS and rebuild it and be all good.
