I’ve used Adam’s driveshafts did a great job. Adams Driveshaft - Driveshaft Upgrades for Jeep JK, JL, JT and more - https://www.adamsdriveshaftoffroad.com/

SE is going to have a lot of local places.
I've used a place in harrisburg to lengthen prop shafts on my 75 and a 74.

Had a local shop build me one - terrible vibrations. I got those Tutton (?) eBay special builds on my 1970 CJ5 and aint had a problem but from what Ive read he's not the guy for the FJ40 builds.

It's not rocket science.

Matt's Off Road Recovery, Fab Rats and Robie Lawton on youtube all use some outfit in Utah and they all seem happy with the results.

So take it back. Say "I got terrible vibrations". Any decent shop can fix it, it's not rocket science. That's why I go to my local shop. Every decent-sized town has a decent driveline shop, usually on the outskirts of town. I've been through a few driveshafts in my time, I've never had to send away for one.

Another vote for Tom Woods. Nice product and lightening fast turnaround.

X3 on Tom Woods, after seeing the units wngrog gets from them. Worth the money.

If you like to keep toyota u-joint, you can have your old one modify to fit your need
Most new shaft use 1310 spicer u-joint

I have used a local shop several times, they do a great job, fast turnaround no shipping cost and keep the toyota u-joints.There is probably a decent shop near you in an area with medium or heavy duty truck service shops.

The only reason I used Adam’s was to shorten and lengthen the shaft’s after the 4 speed install. And I was living 15 miles from there shop. They also put a universal flange on for the different size of the 4 speed from a 3 speed

Nor Cal?

i’m from canada so dont really know the cut off between nor and south Cal

I had Tom Woods build the rear shaft for my 45. They told me up front that they would use the Spicer. I happen to like the additional stand off from the flange that the Spicer has, so I went for it.

That was 15 years and a lot of miles ago.
