Is that price per joint? After reading the information (http://completeoffroad.com/wsm/i-1198_super_u-joint_yukon_d44_kit.html) on the Yukon joints the Longfields look to be basically a copy of them with a couple of things missing. The Jantz Joints (Yukons) have both the caps and cross made from 4340 where the Longfield uses 4340 for the cap and billet for the cross. The Jantz go a step further on the cross because they have a Titanium Nitride coating and they have pressurized reservoirs. Given this information the Longfield may be a good deal if the price is for a pair of them but the Yukons look like they may be slightly better based on the description and the price is less for them if the Longfield price is per joint.jmaples said:THEY WEREN'T ON YOUR LIST BUT MAN ARE THEY SWEET.

The Yukons do not use Bronze bushings. The cross and caps are both 4340 alloy with a titanium nitride coating on the cross that makes it look brass. The reservoirs in them are pressurized which helps to keep the anti-sieze grease from squeezing out. If the last year for me is any indication the Super Joints need to be greased about once every six months. (They can be over greased according to the instructions)Delta4WheelDrive said:I have the OX's and have put some hurting on them ...however, like the other members said with the history of OX's business status, I would jump on the SJ. Keep in mind that you need to grease these types of joints (bronze bushing) after every full wheeling trip especially if you go through water. Even if they do not need the grease, it is a good practice to keep to keep these expensive units on the trail. With the spring loaded SJs, just give them a few pumps...
Yes. They are also called spring loaded but the description that Jantz gave calls them pressurized. Until I read the information I thought the Yukons were a cheaper replacement alternative for the OX or CTM joints. Now I'm not so sure.bmc69 said:LOL..there is an echo in here. ;D
Saddleup..by pressurized cavities, do you mean the bores in the trunions?

How much were they direct? I'm guessing they are about the same price but am curious. Usually distributors make sure the contracts don't allow the manufacturer to undercut them. I've found many times that they were bound to the point that better deals could be found through the various distributors or outlets who were allowed to sale them for less.ROKDWLR said:
