I cleaned out the burnt/caked grease from the front CV and reassembled. Due to the damage to the center "star" on a couple of the ball pockets, I didn't think it would limp through beyond getting a new driveshaft. After putting it all back together it was almost undriveable due to the vibration. I went to the gas station and back and it's now parked until I can get a new driveshaft.
Based on the Youtube Videos, I think I'm convinced that the USA Standard Gear stuff is US made and backed by Randy's ring and pinion, so I think I'm going to give it a shot.

I ordered yesterday and it took until this afternoon to show "shipped" with a tracking number. No FEDEX delivery estimate yet, but it shipped out of Randy's Fresno CA warehouse. RockAuto estimate was that I'd have it by Tuesday, hopefully they do a little better.

Early this morning Fedex forecast Friday delivery, then later this morning they show Saturday delivery. Looks like I won't be able to install until Monday anyway. So I guess I lost 8 days of Jeep use w/ no driveshaft.
