Depends on how much they want for the Crown shaft. The JY one will be the same thing though I think. The Tom Woods shaft is just made with better, stronger materials. The metals are thicker (twice the size as a stock front shaft), the splines are longer and the u-joints are better quality. They say their shafts 200% stronger than a stock shaft. I believe them mine has been going strong for about 4 years now. The spline thing alone is worth it. You should check out their site on the bottom of the page it shows the stock setup compared to what they use, it much better. If you get a shaft from the JY you should plan on rebuilding it anyway, running an old used shaft that has been sitting for how knows how long is only asking for trouble, you can bet the u-joints will be in bad shape just from sitting they dry out and start to rust from lack of rotation and lubrication, if they are not bad yet they will be soon. If you plan to wheel it changing them now will be much easier than on the trail.
