I doubt it really matters for most but the 1310 is essentially a downgrade from the existing toyota ujoints

Could you shed more light on this?

As for cost, these replacement Dana spicer are only $25/ea vs $50/ea for Toyota originals that lasted 250k miles so if these new 1310 last another 100k miles, I am good. It would cost me more than $300 ($200+ for used Taco DC, $100 for 2 u-joints, $100+ for cut and balancing, not counting gas and time to find a GOOD used Taco DC to modify) that's why I decided to move on this to eliminate the vibration rather than waiting for the right time, right Taco DC, right price which might never happen.

Any last minute orders will be FINALIZED Monday morning so if you're on the fence let me know by Sunday night. He has received payment from the 9 original orders so thanks for those who came through.

The toy ujoints are commonly reGarded as the japanese equivalent of the 1350. Im sure these shafts are FINE and only a point worth mentioning for those who really 'thrash' on their trucks offroad, etc

OK, I guess those who ordered and want to upgrade to 1350 IF he has it, then could call him back and see if he could work out some thing. I am fine with 1310 since I don't race and don't expect it to last 250k miles. Thanks for the insight.

Your name was sent today with 1 other order. You can call Curtis tomorrow at 801-685-0056. He's been busy so he's trying to call everyone to confirm so he can make the production run for shipping out Fri.

These are the people on the list so far. If he has not call you, please call him as he said he left 1 VM for someone but did not hear back. He knows 2 of you on this list will call him when you're ready as you're waiting to finish up whatever before you can get measurement. Thanks.

Group buy shipping update. He said production of 6 similar length driveshafts (31.75") was shipped yesterday with location closest to him. The remaining 6 will ship out next week as the machine setup is different.

There are 3 on the list that has not ordered so call him with your handle name to get same price. Those that missed the group buy but want to buy, the price is $300 shipped (normal is $350+ shipping) in 48 lower states, you can call Curtis at 801-685-0056 and say "Peter group buy" to get this price. Thanks.

 

[1FZj80]

Mine was just delivered. I will install tomorrow.

 

[oilbrnr]

Got mine today at work as well. Have it with me on a trip up to my house in Flag, tempted to install but would rather do it on my lift back at home than on a creeper in the driveway.

Haven't looked at it yet...

 

[bmw635]

Darn , mine was in this shipping lot but didn't arrive today so lookslike Monday. Can't wait to see your pics.

 

[OGBeno]

Can someone post some pics of these shafts?

 

[flyingmonkey]

Got mine too. Wasn't expecting it until next week or the week after. Always nice when Christmas comes early.

Beno, if there is something particular you would like a pic of let me know.
