    I’m wondering if MIP CVDs are worth the upgrade? I’ve never had a problem with the stock drivetrain but am curious if the CVDs are really that much better than dog-bones? #1541 Also, does anyone have XL driveshafts and diff outdrives they may be willing to sell? I have the extended hubs but I...
