Aftermarket Driveshafts for the Wrangler 392? What are you guys running?

[Johnny@JustBoltOns]

Curious how many of us are running upgraded driveshafts or have just done warranty replacements when failures happen?

Anyone have any issues with their OEM driveshafts? @JeepCares (there's no efficiency with our local Jeep dealer and we rather not have sit in their lot and risk getting stolen for days so we may just swap it ourselves and get Jeep to cover the replacement?).

I'm running Adams front and rear... The boot on the front shredded last year and since they are not serviceable, I upgraded to Adam's then. Couldn't be happier.....

Legit same issue now with the front, how many miles did you get out of the OEM one?

I want to say it was only about ~15K... go Adams or Tom Woods

Adams had mine shipped the day after I called....

Been running Adams for over a decade on all my rigs

Great feedback, I appreciate it. They are actually the ones I reached out to this morning to find out more.

sure woods or Adams is a big upgrade over stock.

Good to know, 1310s or 1350s?

1350's for the front....

I've been running Adams 1350 on the front for 3 years, smooth no vibration. Just installed Adams 1350 in rear after kissing a rock. No vibration and the "flat zerk" is very easy to reach as opposed to the front driveshaft, which is not. Consider a tazer to turn off front shaft.

Adams here, local to me and great customer service. Run their 1350's on my current and past rigs.

I am not sure what you mean by a Tazer to turn off the front shaft. Unless the front axle is a FAD (which no 392 has) the front shaft is always turning, whether in 2WD or 4 auto. The only way to keep a front driveshaft from spinning is with locking hubs or a FAD.

FWIW my shaft is a Woodie.

I added the FAD to my 392 & hooked it to a toggle switch. Pretty simple install.

It's my understanding that the Tazer disconnects the front driveshaft from the transfer case, so yes it is still spinning, but not under load so in theory it doesn't need lube as often.

We are definitely going with Adams. The wife is still driving it as she won't drive my TRX but thankfully she drives it much softer than I do so it should be fine for a week or two.
