Driveline Shops Around the Inland Empire

[DansGreyMj]

I ordered an SYE for my MJ and now I'm in need of a new rear shaft. I've looked around and read some not so great things about Inland Empire Driveline. So I wanted to see what type of experiences some of you have had or what shop you would recommend. Also, would it be a better idea to have a front Xj shaft extended or start from scratch?

Thanks
Daniel

Years ago, I bought my first driveshaft from J. E. Reel in Pomona.
And start from scratch. You'd have to stretch an XJ driveshaft by about a foot.

Try Banning Driveline they are on the east end of Banning. Had them re tube and balance my rear shaft after hitting a rock. Know some other people that have used them with no problems.

2nd on banning driveline. They're craftsmanship is good and cheaper than most places Ive used before.

Second on Jim Reel in pomona. And one of our naxja guys was working there a couple years ago, not sure if he still does though.

Best bet is to find a good fitting longer than your Drive shaft from wrecking yard and have it cut and spun! Those shops mentioned above can rebuild them as well. You will save money! I priced 2 shafts made from scratch about 9 years ago for my van conversion and it was going to be over $1000.00 each! The original was aluminum so I could not have it done cheap! I have always used rebuilt shafts new u joints ect.. The Jeep project shafts have always lasted since they were usually used shafts from bigger vehicles! My 2 cents !!
I've used J.E.Reel Inland Empire Driveline but never Banning though I have heard all positive about them!

If you don't mind a little further up into Hesperia, Bruce at High Desert Driveline has never done me wrong, and prices and quality are top notch.

I ended up going with Adam's Driveshaft out of Vegas. I got it for over $100 less than anyone local, I also had it in less than 3 business days.

On the same subject do you guys have a recommendation for a good driveline shop in LA/OC? I'm in Lakewood and the 8.25 rearend in my recently purchased XJ has a consistent whine and could use a rebuild. Thanks

You're going to want a shop that does axles, driveline shops mainly do driveshafts and half shafts.

Give Tom and performance gearing in Azusa a call, He did my gears and I've been happy with his work.

If you need something closer to home, you can give unitrax a call, I've used them many times in the past with great results.
