    This place can build one but I don't know if they've built a one piece for the Tacoma. He's built a couple for me for hot rods.

    Call around to local driveshaft specialty shops. Good ones have stock material and can build custom driveshafts

    I get the one piece from a 4runner and cut and modify to fit. Works great and is a double Cardan joint in the front.

    You will find a nice shaft from 3G 4runner, rear. Double cardan and one piece, bolts right up to our trucks. Lengthen a bit and you’re golden.

    you can get the same diameter tube and weld it, cutting off the original where the double cardan meets. I had a local place modify mine and rebalance for under $100. The tubing should be available at any place that carries Dana/spicer components.

    From my understanding, a Tom Woody shaft runs you about $700, if you get one to modify from a pick n pull not only will it be cheaper but it will be faster and you can have a couple of spares. I’ve collected around 4-5 of these driveshafts over the years and keep them around when an emergency strikes. Dented driveshaft are not an unexpected thing when wheeling in the rocks.
