Tom Woods DS... what a friggen joke! He may be good in the jeep world, but he is terrible in the lifted truck world from my experience. First they don't reply to emails... so, I called wanting a double cardan drive line with all the specs I wanted. Tried to describe my symptoms and was told it was probably not the driveline.. I insisted on a quote and the rep instantly told me no way it would work for my application, and then quoted me just under 900 for a single rear driveshaft. The unprofessionalism and attitude they cop'd on the phone was not worth my time... If you guys in south texas need drivelines done up this is the only place to go..

He got me what I needed, to my spec's, and a very reasonable price at about 600 bucks. Its top notch quality too. Works great and eliminated all my vibrations, eat that tom woods, who I did call back to let them know they where wrong. Nearly 10k on the newly repaired rig and driveline and it's running better than ever...


BlackPlat, he must really like your truck...?! I hear Line-x SA
want's your truck @ the grand
opening? Time to start showin the beast off if you haven't already!
Thanks for the heads up

fx4 for life 79,
I got my drive shaft built by the same guys here in San Antonio that FX4Life is referring you to and honestly you would be silly to go anywhere else.

FX4life,
Ha, how the heck did you find out they wanted my truck there ? Do you know Josh, or is he over on the raptor forums ? But, yes, I have told him he could have my truck to use for the opening or whatever it is. Guess it will be the first "showing" of my truck per say.

No, I don't know him... but his is over on FordRaptorForum, and somehow we turned a discussion about the lifted raptor into him working on your truck, into them getting a new shop... He read the thread on here and thought it was funny you and I thought B&C off road was a huge POS!

FX4 for life 79-- you already have a nice ding in the tailgate!? oh, and the bumper looks great too
