Anyone have a 1st gen 4 runner here that can measure the rear drive shaft length for me? Preferably with a single tcase.

I had the drive shafts modified. In my infinite wisdom I wrote down front dimensions but not rear. The new rear measurements seem off from what I remember. I am not sure on the amount of lift due to it being done by a previous owner. If I had to guess I would say 3-4 " .Lift matters. Are you looking for a stock driveshaft length? Or something else?
I've never seem anything but 5-speeds on 4Runners. 4Runners started in 84. There are automatic 4Runners but in later years.Didn't these come in four and five speed versions 79-85? 10/82 was the start of the five speed in the 40 series. Not sure on the mini truck. If they are like the 40 and 60 series the length was different until 4/85 when Toyota added a dummy spacer to the back of the four speed so it would equal the five speed.
Guess was thinking mini truck first gen 4runner 85-89? Were they all five speeds or some automatics? Did the solid axle make any difference from the independent suspension?

Thanks. I did take that measurement and the measurement of my current drive shaft to figure out about to shorten. I forgot to write down the rear so my fault. I have already paid to have mine shortened so don't really want to pay twice. It was more of a curiosity thing as to what measurements people with like rigs had if any. The local shop is going to take care of shortening again.Just measure mounting face to mounting face, sitting on the ground on the tires, transfer case to differential. Then call Tom Woods Driveshafts. Get what they recommend. A few days later a long skinny heavy box will magically appear. 8 bolts/nuts later, bada boom bada bing.
