I had no problem with their site, but I'm running a Mac.
Maybe it's time for a hardware upgrade ;?)

Sorry we were updating our website today... so that cool mac guy beating up on the nerdy pc guy doesn't apply to this case. :) All good to go now.. what kind of unbreakable axles where you looking for you? We can make any spline, length, materials.. very affordable and very quickly (7-10 days).

Everything I'm reading about you guys is really good. I wish I didn't have 4 mouths to feed.

Great, like I need a couple jeep/ computer nuts giving me a hard time...:D

If I would've known about your store a month ago I'd definately be calling but I'll just have to wait until I bend an axle shaft again.

Hintonite did you ever figure out the clicking noise? Is it just while turning or all the time?

I changed out all the u joints ans the CV ion the front drive shaft but still i get the clicking sound. I jacked the axles up on stands and put it gear in 4X4 and turned hard to the right and the diff begain to pivot on the upper and lower control arms. I ordered new bushings for the control arms as it seems like the noise is coming from them. I will have the parts tommorow and will find out. One good thing is i am getting all new parts in it now.

well i crawed under the jeep today to replace control arm bushings and found that the new muffler i had installed and they cut out all the hangers ehept the back one. This allowed the y pipe to hit the front driveshaft when turning. This was my clicking sound. I am on my way to the muffler shop to have them weld on some hangers. Wired it to the frame and no more problems. But i did find some other problems and took care of them.

Sorry if this is not the location to post this question. I did do a search. I am planning on replacing the U Joints on the front axle of my stock 2005 TJ again. Last time I replaced them was two years ago, so I thought I would try to install a better U Joint. Which would I be better off Getting? The Alloy USA I like as I can grease individual caps, but I believe its made in China. Link HERE. The OMIX-ADA U-Joint is greasable, but just one nipple, and I believe its Made in the USA by Spicer, Link Here. The old U Joints I am replacing I don’t recall what brand they are. I know, should have researched two years ago. Most forums are recommending these, I have always preferred greasable parts though...Thanks for any assistance you may be able to offer.
