Cheap Alternative

Now I'm sure this has been asked 9384509483509348 times, and I tried a search, but go figure it is not working...

Is there an alternative to spending like $2000 on a 12 bolt?

Yes. Spend $300+ on many 10 bolts.

Or go slow.

Spending 1500 on a used one....options with reliability are limited in the rear end dept.. no junk yard salvage peice or souped up 7.5 is worth a damn.. The drivetrain is just an expensive area of the car.. theres no way around it... It strikes me funny that people will spend limitless amounts of money on engine/suspension but when it comes time to do the right thing on drivetrain they cheap out..

I just look around for good pricing. Saving money allows me to spend it on other areas of the car :-). If thats the price that needs to be paid then so be it, but if not, whats wrong with saving a few hamiltons? Wheres a good place to look for used ones? I checked ebay last week with some not-too-satisfying results.
