I'm the lucky winner of needing a new driveshaft prize!
Hi Everyone,
Any recommendations on where to pick up a drive shaft for my rig. I'm in southern California and time is of the essence. I need to get it installed before the weekend ends.
Thanks

When I lived in Mendocino I had a local shop put in a used driveshaft for under $200 at the most I wanna say around $80 installed. $320 is a little much. Any mechanic an bolt in a used driveshaft in a matter of minutes. Or just replace the u-joint for that matter.

Or replace the U-Joints yourself..

i thought you were serious when you said you had gone past one xD
Yeah generally speaking, driveshaft shops make/balance driveshafts for vehicles, but alot of the times they do other things for trucks and cars.
Also, just search on here on how to replace the U-Joints for a driveline.
Shouldn't take THAT long.

I used to have some property on Branscomb Rd. Just outside Laytonville. Yeah, it is a pretty small world. Fishing hasn't been real great in Lake County lately, though. There isn't very much water in Clear Lake, and it's winter. Maybe spring time things will pick up.

Wow, Branscomb huh? That's beautiful country. I used to live up Fox Rock. I used to hang out with that guy Steve who owned the wrecking yard in town. We did some work to my old 86 4runner at the time. I sold it a few years ago to txclimber on this board, he put a new engnbldr head on it in a recent thread. I took that truck out past covelo and beyond, good times. I heard mendocino has blown up lately.
