    Default Straps to U bolts.

    I have one on my trail rig that is homebrew machined. Not perfect but works and keeps the DS on better then those tiny little bolts and straps. You loose lots of material machining them.

    You know, now that I think about it, (haven't been under the rig in awhile) I ordered a standard yolk and strap kit because the 'custom' u bolt yolk cracked where the material was removed. Now this happened from spinning the shaft with lots of weight (jeep weight) on a rock. I'm not easy on my equipment. This was the first part I ever used overnight shipping! How could I forget?! Cha Ching!

    So you can get the conversion yoke for the front, but no luck on the 8.25...not sure there is value there.

    If you convert the front, then you are carrying 3 sets of spares for the drive shafts?
