Every single place around here wants $65 or more for Spicer HD u joints. The only stuff at $20 is the autozone stuff.

Ok, so today sucked. Got a call from the shop saying that my gears are fucked and my bearings are shot. My entire axle needs to be rebuilt. I also got some cuts in the axle shaft seals that caused the axle shaft seals to leak as well as other issues. so i will be jeepless for the rest of the week and out about $800 ish to get all new parts, and the install. I called other shops and that roughly the going price for a gear install with complete over haul and all new parts.

Thats what i cant decide, spend Big bucks getting it sprayed, or try to get a match and it can look like ass or just do it gloss black since most of the flares will cover the fenders and the header panel wont look bad black. i dunno what to do.
