I know it's hard to ask what something is if you don't know what it is. Could you take a picture and post it up? Point to what you're asking about with a pen or something when you take the picture.

I didn't know the name of it either. But that's what I thought you meant by collar. I just wasn't sure.
EDIT: I just looked it up in the EPC. It's 3 separate parts actually. The upper part is the Propeller Shaft Dust Cover Sub-assembly. The lower part is the No. 2 Propeller Shaft Dust Cover. And the mounting bracket/brace is the Propeller Shaft Dust Cover Stay.
But driveshaft gaurd hoop sounds better anyway.

Sorry for digging up such an old thread but I couldn't find any other reference to this drive shaft cover part. I found mine, or whats left of it, hanging on my front drive shaft. How important is it to replace? I suspect its to prevent weeds, brush from getting tangled up around the drive shaft joint, which is not a big concern for me.

I can't tell you for sure if you HAVE to have it. I would worry about pieces of wire and other trash just driving down the freeway. But that's just me.
MudHippy, an invaluable resource, didn't provide the part numbers. But he did point out that it's three parts. Why don't you clean up yours, figure out which part you need, and use this

to find the part number (and price).

I never quite understood why Toyota took such care to shield that double-carden joint, and left the other 3 u-joints totally exposed. Doesn't seem like there's that much difference in vulnerability to dust and other stuff. If anyone knows the reason, I'd be interested to hear it. After I installed my double tcases, the shield no longer fits, so if it's important I have some fab work to do.

Thanks for all of the info on this cover. There are a lot of different parts numbers for these cover pieces but I've figured out for my '87, RN66, cover half #1 is 37701-35050 (NLA), #2 is 37713-35040 or 41 (about $31), and the stay bracket is 37702-35030 (about $8). Of course I need the piece that's no longer available. RJR... wanna sell me yours?

I'll have to look at mine some more to see what I want to do. Send me a PM so I don't lose track of you, and if I can't make use of my existing parts you're welcome to them.

I found with mine it would get a lot of mud packed in it and in the shaft. Cleaning the mud out of the joint was both harder and more frequent than necessary. I took mine off completely and it pretty much remedied heavy mud getting in there. If you don't see mush mud really then I'd definitely keep it.

The mounting bracket is different for a VF1A (chain drive) tcase than for an RF1A gear drive unit. The one I removed is for the VF1A, which is why it no longer fits, because the dual cases are RF1A's. Which case do you have?
