Dirt Daily. Adding RCV Axles to a Jeep JL Wrangler

[@jeffreybetts8014]

Thanks Fred , real life installs are always great

[@BlackAndBlueGarage]

I've always loved what you guys do. I'd love to have the job of just building whatever I want. I realize there would be a lot of anxiety that comes with deadlines, but you and Dave always made it look easy.

[@4xhoser]

Same lol idk if anyone can recreate their recipe lol

[@888johnmac]

about 4 mins in Fred ' i can wear this orange hat all day ' .... seconds later in next scene Fred's wearing a black baseball cap .... love it

[@888johnmac]

and then the Orange Beanie is back .. lol

[@dennisoneil3325]

I'm sure the rules state that you can't wear the orange hat until the orange boot has been installed.

Hi Fred. Thanks for your video. I installed the same RCV's on my JL Rubicon. I noticed after a couple months (although may have been there since the beginning) that the RCVs will click-click during slow turns, or pulling into a parking space. Many say that the clicking (presumably the balls moving around in their cage) is one of the traits of RCVs. I grease them regularly (at every oil change), and other than that, they've been running great. Any insight into their click? Thanks

[@BAT1908]

If you're thinking of using Teraflex BJ. The Teraflex ball joints will not work with the RCV or 1410 Ujoint axles. The Zero fitting are way to tall.

[@CampTlangram]

Good video. I need to replaced CV. joint by U Joint. But i have no idea which U joint shaft will fit.

[@Beat98TJ]

They finally made that boot tool? Several years ago I was at Goatbuilt and they built a very similar tool for boot installation. Those boots are a pain in the a$$.

[@Intentsrig]

The biggest reasons I have never wanted RCV's is because of the grease mess/ leaking boots. Can anyone comment more real world experience with these axles in a solid axle application? Are they a huge headache of a mess like the internet says? I had this same axle in my last JL and the 1410 full circle clip u joints never gave me any issues for about 5 years.

[@jordangryg5442]

hey fred awsome vids ! glad your making videos again i miss ded, also i have a 06 ram 2500 with u joint front axles , any tips on a cheaper upgrade , like some dodges have cv axles at salvage yards are they better than u joints just the factory ones ?

[@danhufferdoutdoors]

I am due for u joints on my one ton, Dana 60, this looks like a good idea, but how many times have you seen leaky cv boots? That can be messy. Has anyone done this to a drive line yet?

[@earlarthur9378]

FRED - question, sir. Would you put a small clamp on that boot to assure it does not move just like on a passenger car cv boot?

[@TerminusVox]

Wildly oversimplified but Loctite is glue.

[@davidruppel1216]

You need to keep an eye on the boots. They may split with age. In 12 years I've only had to replace them once.

300M has a tensile strength of 300ksi. 4340 is 200-240ksi.

Have you ever found that external axle seals are necessary?

Fred what’s your opinion on fixing leaking rear axle seals on 03 rubicon? Seems to be a common thing? I’ve replaced them once already and they’re leaking again. Only 30,000 miles on Jeep. New better axles? It’s annoying as shit. Anyone else have opinion?

[@benstanziale]

Fred Williams, great video content. I’d like to run 43” tall tires on a Mercedes Metris van. Would you recommend the RCV axles on this application? Thank you,

Man so good to see you Fred. I (being a caveman) did not know you had a channel. Was waiting for the next season of DED and when looking found your channel. Question: does the boot just snap into place? I thought there would be a clamp like a hose clamp or something to hold it onto the bell? sorry if i just missed it. Merry Christmas

[@yoboo6167]

Thanks for answering the question of "Are RCV axels really worth it?". If you say they're good, that's a solid yes for me!

Good vid Fred! 🤘🇨🇦 A lot of IFS guys that run RCVs complain about the boots leaking/breaking on such an expensive axle, any ideas about that?

Curious how these compare to my factory cv front shafts in my 22’ Mojave. It was a pleasant surprise imho to see those when I picked up my JT

[@Wrangzilla]

One of the worst things I've ever done in life was getting addicted to Jeeps. The addiction started off innocently enough with GI Joes in the mid 80's and the a Jeep remote control in the late 80's. However in the mid 90's I was introduced to a dealer while stationed in San Diego. I've been broke ever since.
