Sorry to get your hopes up. All I have are shafts, no u joints. Sorry.

Are you talking about the little 8 or 9 inch piece that connects the steering column to the steering rack? If so, I have 2 of them.One from my 83 Brat when I did the lift kit installation, and onother from an 87 Brat that was parted out. If this is what you need, let me know. You can have it for shipping.

You can go to the dealer and get the cost of new replacement parts and the cost of a mechanic to install them for you. Submit that to the insurance agent and then do some J/Y diving and put it back together yourself with an upgraded security system in it. I received an e-mail the other day talking about someone being able to take your vin # off the dash and have the dealer cut a key for your car without proof of ownership. The remedy, said the e-mail, was to drop a 3 x 5 card or a piece of black plastic tape over the vin #.

There are 2 Cooper dealers here locally who have both quoted me that price. ??

I hope someone takes a picture of it.

Visit Legacy 777's site for info on how to pull your codes. He's got a great guide.

I had read in another post that the thickness of the shaft may vary, but the length should be the same. Probably got the wrong one.

Cool, man. What are those wheels, six lug Yota's?

Welcome to the board, good luck with your project, and who is you relative?

Welcoe to the board. Keep your eyes open; there are Brats available all of the time.

I'd race you in a 1/4 mile run for titles, but I get to pick the course.

I certainly hope she's in good shape. Vehicles can always be replaced.

Looks good. Acts bad? (Give us the details).

Cracked block. The bulk of the problem is stated to have happened in "sub freezing temps" with little anti-freeze in the coolant.

Good find and nice thinking.

I have always thought it best to run same size, tread design, and amount of wear or you are inviting trouble when in 4 wd. I had a Ford Explorer that would make a violent jump in 4wd if the tread wear on the front and rear were much different at all. my .02

I guess you got your two responses, but this makes number three.

Additionally, the benefit of heating the engine to a warmer temperature before starting means less carbon monoxide in the air/ less greenhouse gasses/ less polutants/ less global warming. It's not always about what saves us the most money.

I wish I could wrangle ten days off (3 to drive down, 4 for the meet, and 3 for the drive back) but maybe I can get a couple and fly in. I'll keep you posted.

Vote for Pedro.

Up here they sure are.

Welcome to the board. It sounds as though you're coming to terms with your roo.

No. It snows in other places. It's just in Alaska where it snows for... 8 months of the year.

I've never driven in snow.
