    huh, looks like you are correct....when I go to rear axle/propeller shaft on that website and click on U-Joints it redirects me to the front driveshaft/4wd U-joints....wtf. Toyota better still make these cause I think mine are on their way out as well.

    If it's the same part he's looking for it sounds like it's always been considered unserviceable by Toyota, so they never would have carried replacements short of just changing out the whole driveshaft for a new one.

    Holey smokes! That's crazy as Toyota was getting $1,800 for some of those shafts not too many years ago.

    Wheeler's Offroad is a good idea, also Marlin Crawler might know how to help you out.

    @3rYODA A possible option for you includes having a new end put on your shaft, assuming a joint can be found to fit your yoke. I have a local shop (out here in the sticks) build short one-piece shafts, balanced, for $200-$300 labor.

    I would go the one piece driveshaft route, would be considered an upgrade anyhow

    Never mind, OP doesn't deserve it.

    Right but who would I even get in touch with, and I need my truck to go to work tomorrow witch won't happen so anything I do at this point is pointless and it's the weekend so no ones open I can't do dick all If I atleast had some $ saved up I'd go buy a Honda Civic or somthing But in going to end up spending 200$ on an uber ride to get me to work and back I'll probably do that for maybe two weeks or till my bank is outa $ or my driveshaft is done witch i can't afford cause I'm spending 1000$ a week in uber rides,

    It's not just I can't find the part is that now that I can't find a part I'm going to be so broke trying to make money, I don't know how I'm going to beable to buy any parts so this isn't just the frustration of where do I get this crap its a whole cluster fuck
