I got my super strength UJ's at NAPA for around $20. OEM prices are crazy high, and your simply reinstalling the same part that failed in the first place. Go with aftermarket.
Anyone hear any rumors, or see any pictures of the next generation Pathy? I mean geaz, I've got a 2005, and the body style is unchanged for the most part. There for a while, Nissan was running 5 year body style plans. This would mean we should be due for a change. I haven't seen anything yet, other ...

I'd like to see RSS feeds implemented. I use it for easy reading on all my other messageboards. It allows me to keep track of new posts and even sync them through to my Windows Mobile phone to read on the go.

BTW, I used a grinder and cut the final 2 bolts off. Both u-joints are replaced and drive shaft is ready to be put back on the truck. Only...
Update: This is crazy how tight some of these are on. I went ahead and picked up a set of the new grip-tight combo wrenches. These things work great. That combined with some pen. oil and I've manage to get 6 of 8 off. Got 1 left on each side. I had to put the wrench on, and actually use my leg/foot ...
