3rd Gen 4wd rear driveshafts
Is there any difference in rear driveshafts, say from 96-98 and 99...all V6?
This is for a 97 2wd to 4wd conversion and I got a driveshaft from a 99 4runner and it seems like its about 4 inches short? I measured the distance from the front of the bellhousing to the rear differential drive flange currently on the vehicle and it comes out to be 88 inches.
I then connected the 99 driveshaft to my a340f transmission that came out a 98 Taco, measured the same way and its 84"....Am I missing something here?
Found this label on the driveshaft:
Would anyone happen to have some actual pictures to compare?

The propeller shaft for those with multi-mode transfer case are shorter by a few inches because the multi-mode transfer case is longer than the regular transfer case.

Depending on cost considerations you can have a driveline shop retube it to make it the right length. And you can upgrade to thicker wall tubing while your at it. It's a 4wd now right? Can't hurt to add a little beef to that driveshaft.
I had mine done recently and it cost me $150 to go to 0.095 wall tubing and have it rebalanced, stock is around .065. My stocker was bent anyway, u-joints were fine and reused.

Its still in 2wd right now....was planning on doing the swap next week, but I guess it will have wait a little now.
I'd figure it will be easier just to sell this one and find the correct one as I don't know any reputable shops around me to do it.
