Warn CV eliminator kits?

[Bluey]

was reading an old 4wd monthly mag about a week ago about an article of a yellow shorty 40 series. was the one with removable white roof/green canvas top/ute top etc. think it was v8 with swampers, and owned by Gut's brother? maybe

anyway, it showed in the write up what they called a warn cv eliminator kit, which from the pic replaced normal cv with a big ass u joint, dana axle style, but still inside steering knuckle.

was wondering if these are still available, to fit what type of vehicles and any other info any of you chaps out there might know. and i guess how they would compare to treated cv's like haultech and then longfields



Cheers

I myself have had a look into the various options and will be ordering a pair of Longfields direct from the US

Have some kits available still brand new. When I am back at work on the 16th I will let you know what we have and how much.

Reckon Daz went back to CVs cause he wasnt too impressed with how the eliminators handled. IMO Would go with Matt's theory - stronger CVs or save yer dough and keep replacing em ... another thing to think about is std toyota gear would be a cheaper & easier to replace....but that's not to be bagging the warn kits.

have a browse of the yankee sites (pirate4x4 and ih8mud.com) and have a look at what they say, most say their not that strong compared to heat treated, let alone cromolly's. and if you damage the uni joint yolk on the kit, your up for a new kit, and very few people will have spares in the scrub, whereas with heat treateds, you can limp it home on standard cv's or standard inners, and there are plenty of guys out there carrying spare toyota cv's

Thanks for the replies guys. think i'd have to agree with the idea with keeping with stock componets (well, heat treated hardened ones anyway).

like the longfields kit, both sides - axle shafts and cv's for $635 (us). might have something to spend tax return money on here!
