Drive Shaft Blew Up!

Time for a one piece TW.

 

fuck one pieces, i like my drive shafts to not hit rocks

 

Im running a one piece but not to much room for a carrier under my truck.

 

no fair I have twice the length of truck than you do

also im getting impatient for my crawl box to show up

 

I would say come wheel with us next month in May but its one long ass drive from Edmonton to Temiscaming.

 

holy yah lol!!!! Maybe next time im in Burlington for work Ill swing north lol

BTW is your t-case mount bolted to your skid???

oh nvm I see you deleted your cross member and tucked it up

 

Yea cut that POS X-member out and flat bellied it with a custom X- member.

 

Had the same thing happen to my T100, but i didn't lose the whole shaft... Just lost one of the u joints before the carrier bearing... Scary shit tho....

 

I will be doing the same, but initial install and to not have to re do my skids Im staying with factory cross member until after moab

 

double kardan blew. a GOOD shop can rebuild it/balance it. a crappy shop will try and sell you a double kardan.

 

Moab is a blast had great time the last 3 years, not going this year instead going to Canada...

 

did Moab last year I plan every two years though after this year, i think Rubi next year though

anyways off topic hahaha

it may be cheaper in your case to go with a one piece

 

Nice I actually grew up about 15 miles from the Rubicon.

 

We want a how-to with pics

 

we have totally de railed this thread lol

 

See how far your yoke was being pulled out of the transmission. You need a longer driveshaft or a spacer to push the shaft further up in the transmission like it should be. Also you put added strain on your carrier bearing with the driveshaft being like that.

Pic also added on how your yoke should be in the transmission

 

Pull the driveshaft and get it to a good driveshaft shop...the hot rodders and the heavy truckers should know. I don't know if those shafts are steel or aluminum, but have them build you a nice two piece steel shaft, with greaseable u-joints.

And have Borla build you a decent exhaust, their plant is 10 miles from the house.

I did a write up with pics...I think its on TTORA been a while???

It happens....

 

I just bought new u-bolts but they didn't have a new yoke so I'm waiting to get them from the dealership. Where do I get the spacers?

 

2wd 05-13 Tacoma's (The 65x65mm is the one that fits). Here is a link to his site. http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/DriveshaftSpacer.shtml

I run the 1.25 spacer since my truck is lifted 4" in rear so you should probably be ok with just a 1". Also I would recommend a beefed taco carrier bearing drop bracket.

add these along w a new carrier bearing, u joints and your yoke and you should be golden.
