Two of them actually.

Kinja'd!!!

Front is a double cardan/CV. Rear is u joints only. Both custom made with thick DOM tubing and Spicer 1310 joints.

The best part of that classy bright yellow sticker it comes with? “My Shaft’s A Woody” is trademarked.

Posting it again because despite kinja saying my comment was successfully published, it’s now gone.

1) No DC shaft for the rear?

2) Keeping the OEM as a spare?

Rear doesn’t need it, pinion angles are good. I will keep the rear as a spare but the front is probably no good.

Probably would be best to have the balancing tested before installing, I know a few guys who had some balancing issues.

Pretty much. Actually pretty reasonable for custom work. I ordered it on Monday, it showed up Wednesday and it cost $10 to ship. Not too bad.

One mistake I made after i installed mine years ago was I didn’t need fill the u-joints after installation. And the build grease wasn’t much. The needles turned to powder.

So pump some grease in Them after you install it.

They have many grease in them now, but the “instructions” do say to refill after install. I bought some high moly #2 but they recommend #1 for the slip joints and #2 for the ujoints. WHY?!

Lol, Tom gave me his wood a few weeks ago. They seem to be pretty good shafts for the price.
