Try Bob Bridge Toyota for a new one:

Or you might find a low mileage one at a bone yard. What truck is it? I have a complete drive shaft from a 2001 Taco ext-cab with only 27,000 miles on it but shipping might get pretty pricey to Alaska.

Oh, ok... I'll stand corrected then.

C$69.99 vs. C$250 from the dealer up here in Canada. I ordered one last week and will apparently have it this week.

The local driveshaft place said they could squeeze a new center bearing and rubber into my old casing assuming it was not too beat up, but they wanted $125, so the above link is still a better deal.

This supplier might be especially relevant to Canucks (like me) as the supplier is in Richmond, BC - so no border boondoggles, taxes or brokerage fees.

Ooops - just realized you have a newer truck than mine.
