If you decide to go with NAPA, I would take your OEM CVs and measure them (length) exactly. I've done some research and someone over at the FJ forum said the NAPA CVs are slightly longer which causes them to bind at full droop. If your rig is stock height this doesn't matter but if you have lift this could be a problem. Interestingly, the guy ended up getting an Autozone CV which was the exact length as stock and did not bind at full droop.

That being said, I still plan on getting new NAPA CVs when mine go out. I can just drive down the street and swap them out if they break. Overall, they seem to last and they are lifetime warrantied. I can adjust my overall droop because I have limiting straps up front, so I can get around this issue. What ever you decide, you should do the boot slide mod and the boots should last a long time. Check out Gerdo's post on this.
