Ah okay. So angle into the box is important. I was wondering about that. Wasn’t jsut if another u joint, so long as it wasn’t angled up into the box wouldn’t be an issue.Thats an interesting part. In the stk application, does the splined end connect to the tacoma box? Keep in mind your steering shaft will be unsupported. It looks like there's going to be a lot of flex because how the ujoint is attached to the rubber part of the rag joint. It looks like the position of the steering ujoint is going to be low. Most folks cut the rag shaft end off a little closer to the firewall to get a good angle to the box. I think your going to have to weld to install the box. Your also going to have to deal with the shock tower. This will be interesting.
Wouldn’t the additional rag joint flex be beneficial?the whole shaft won’t be supported accept by the future bearing.
Depending on the year that part goes directly into the PS gear box or another short shaft w yet another u joint and then the gear box.
I’m sourcing some F250 towers per a couple of threads on here. If you have a better/more Toyota idea, I’m all ears
