I don't think their website has worked for sometime. You just need to call them.

How many times have people posted on her to complain about their website or lack of them answering the phone or something else?
I know they have a good following and word of mouth is your best sales person, but get the site working.

I have spoken with Bill a couple times this week. The website is down due to an issue with the web hoster. Seems like the hoster owns the domain and Bill is having a hard time with the SOB. He says it should be resolved soon. Call him or email him at:

Gbrovers@aol.com

Cheers,

Mike

on the front driveshaft...tom woods is a better option.

tom woods now has a new flange that he is having made that is about 3x as strong as the spicer unit.

I blew up a spicer unit about a month back and Tom Woods set me up with his new style double cardan driven flange. instead of being made from cast nodular iron it is made from a forged steel...looks pretty similar but is way way stronger.

this being a cross-over jeep part they use in the 1310 series rover front shafts even though there is not alot of talk of failures in the rover world they had seen plenty in the big tired jeep world so Tom went out and improved on the culprit part to eliminate the weak link.

when mine failed they turned mine around same day to have me wheeling again...its very hard to expect better cutomer service then that!!!

not real sure?...but the GBR and tom woods shafts have always been within spitting difference.

they have always been similar product as well, this changes that now the TW shaft is clearly the better choice.

just looked...$379 with the adapter.

one other thing thats cool about TW shafts is the gold seal u-joints. they are lifetime warantee and if they ever fail the warantee also covers any damage to the shaft that results from the failed u-joint.

once again...thats customer service!
