    In need of some last minute help here.

    Headed to Baja bright and early and found out that my driveshaft is bent and/or out of balance. Does anyone in the LA area have a spare or have a line on anything?

    Thanks in advance

    One thing that'll help is fix your title. "HELP!!!" Isn't descriptive, instead "I need a driveshaft today LA area and your YMM" 4x4 and 2wd tacomas use different driveshafts. And it'll vary dependendant on cab and bed length.
    Good luck on the hunt.

    Sorry on the lack of descriptors in the title, that’s my bad. HELP!! was only intended to draw people to look at the post itself.

    Would have appreciated a phone call if you actually have one available. That’s why it’s in the post. As all of you know, the day before a big trip can be quite hectic, especially when you just drove 3 days and 2700 miles cross country to get to your starting point.

    We are leaving in about 5 minutes for the border, so if there’s the off chance that anyone is heading to Ensenada for the Baja 1k, please call me. Will have service in Mexico
