Here's the deal, I bought this brand new (still has strap around the ujoint) from another forum and it never clicked how huge it was when I bought it. The guy purchased a LJ long arm and the shaft came with it. He was somehow convinced it was for a tj and kept it in storage. I bought it, as he sold it "for a tj". Dropped my shaft and went to install this one. It goes to mid diff, so instead of shortening it and then re lengthening it when I stretch, I'm just going to buy Southern Rubi's TW and lengthen it when I stretch.

I know I can't get my money out of it, but would like to recoup some of the cost. So I'm open to offers. Hope this isn't against the rules.

25" collapsed
27.5" extended

Do you have a ballpark of what your looking to get for it ?

I'd like to get $300 as its $450 plus shipping from RE and is brand new. Is that unreasonable?

Is that a 1350? Do you know what height the LA was?

I can call RE in the morning and ask. I posted the measurements. I know its for a LJ rubi so I'm assuming it's 1310's. And should work up to a 4.5" lift. I listed the measurements, is it the same as yours?

No one wants this thing? There was a thread weeks ago with several LJ's fighting over a stock shaft, and no interest.

I need this gone so I can buy brackets for my stretch. Someone send me an offer so I can get it shipped to you this weekend.

Per Dave at Northridge. It has 1350 joints at the cv, and 1330 on the axle end just like our rubi yokes.

Call Dave and ask. He told me measure yours and compare it with my measurements.

There are a few interested ahead of you, but I would have to respectfully decline that offer regardless. That's $350 less than What RE sells it for and thats not even including shipping. This thing has never been mounted, it is Brand new.

OBX-J33P is supose to get back with me tomorrow with a yes or no as he was the first to respond. Then it will be MPETE by order of response (unsure of actual interest), and then wideglide10(via PM).

Thank you everyone for your interest. I made a mistake buying this and am offering savings to you.

I wish I could say I was able to jump on this, especially since the tummy tuck was brought up and I happen to have one sitting in the garage waiting for me to install it. however it is waaaaay above my budget for jeep parts at this time. thanks anyway.

Would you ship it to Canada? V9X 0Y8. I need one for by SWB, I suppose I could have this one shortened.

I don't know anything about Canada except it's cold. I would have to ask the post office what's involved and cost.
