For a gain of |<-------------------------->| much may i ask why a drive shaft spacer didnt do the trick? Or does it already have one?
Ps welds look ok

yer yer i'm sure everyone will think it's dodgy.. but it's for offroad use only.... and it works. I needed a 100mm longer shaft, so i cut two shafts and sleeved it with some tube. I drilled some holes along the standard shaft and once the tube was inside i welded in the holes, basicly connecting the outside tube to the inside tube. This is about 100mm longer than standard. |

now i remember. It's actually two different shafts. i purprosly cut them both that length , so i had a space to weld them to the inner tube. PS. where the cut on the long side of the shaft is, is where the shaft ended. It's a front shaft with a rear shaft end welded on,.. I'll get a measurement tomorrow for the hell of it. |

That seems fine. Its a trail rig, why would you bother buying a spacer?? Doesn't need to be perfectly balanced or anything. I would even go as far as RHS shafts on a trail rig. When your going slow they don't need to be balanced. |

A mate of mine uses a RHS shaft in the front of hil hilux. works well but it does seem to flog out the uni's alot quicker |

another trick is to get some heavywall pipe the right diameter and replace the whole lot, then its more impact resistent too |
