do they make a better drive shaft for the 89-95 4wd p/u's maybe a lighter weight 1 piece or something

there is a write up at the link above. It's a custom piece, but not expensive

 

nice 1/2 the weight i like that

 

$300 for it if anyone else needs one steve @ SB driveline 408-995-6000

 

It's not what your lookin for, but I wanted to throw it out there. Just to give an idea of what I think is better, offroad anyway. I'm on my 3rd rear drive shaft, but $650 is steep! I could buy 4-5 used ones for that.

I did this mod on my 95 Nissan Hardbody. Nissan trucks come with Spicer joints from the factory so that reduced the cost of the drive shaft as my old ends were used. To eliminate the Carrier Bearing (as we called it on the Nissan boards) cost me about $149 plus two new u-joints pressed in for an additional $40 got me out the door around $200 bucks.

I will do this mod to my toyota. Thanks for the posting the link for this.

 

i'll get some pics when i get it put in

 

i ordered it today so i'll get pics when it comes in

 

i feel like an idiot but until i looked under my friends truck the other day i thought our toys came with a one piece driveshaft. the guy i bought it from said it was all stock and i just assumed thats how they all were

 

i broke the carrier bearing mount off on my 91. At the time I was at college, not home. I called up South bay driveline and they mailed me a one piece shaft. Compared to the 2 piece this one doesn't hang down much lower. It was easy to install, all you need are 8 slightly longer bolts. I would highly recommend them. Cost me like $320 shipped IIRC.

 

We have a few custom drive shaft places here in San Diego, bring them your specs and they will dial you in.

 

got in in today some pics

 

Did you have to order anything special regarding the yokes so they don't bind against the longer bolts/bolt heads? Or is this not an issue?

Are you running a stock suspension in the rear?

 

got it installed today some pics

 

my rear is all stock and nothing special for the yokes , i'm going to test it out this weekend

 

update? i want to order one soon.

 

i have'nt got to wheel it yet but so far it is working great on the street (seems to rev out a little faster)

 

norcalsvx, what measurements did you give sb driveline when you ordered? He was in a big hurry yesterday when i was on the phone with him and i am not sure that i got him the right info.

 

i told him 64" yea he seems pretty busy
