Well boys, I finally did something to my truck. Here it is my new custom D/S, using 1350 u-joints, 7 inch slip, adapters for toyota flanges. Very well made by Royce at ITC. I highly recommend. One thing I got to fix is the holes at T/C. Adapters where drilled to square pattern. Here are the picks. I'll start with the carnage of the old shaft.

Very stout there Jay. I dont you'll be able to break that no matter what.

:beer:
 
now thats some bling... what did that run ya??
what are the adapters made out of..
 
The adapters look like Stainless Steel. The tube is 1/4" too. It cost 600. Well worth it though. The adapters bolt from both sides with fine thread bolts
 
thats a fair price for a custom shaft... stainless adapters .. really.. thats interesting... seems like everytime i use a stainless bolt i end up cutting it off do to the threads stripping on me.. could be a different series of stainless though..

it looks sweet man...
 
Looks good Jay.

don't thread stainless together to stainless... long term isn't good.
 
it could be the cheap stainless bolts that i use from work.. :D

Click to expand...

yeah stainless is weird stuff sometimes. almost like it's sticky, which make the threads gall up.

total pissoff when you're threading a new bolt together and it galls and you cant get the nut on or off...

we always neversneezed the s*** out of them on the boats. seems to help.
