3 Inch Longer Rear Shaft for FJ40

[DIRTY ROCK STAR]

Hey all, just wondering if i move my rear diff back 3 inches, i will need a longer shaft according to BJ.

Now, does any cruiser come with a shaft of that length i can pick up at a wreckers???

thought maybe a 60 or 55 or 45???

some clues here would be good.

and no jokes about the title. Everyone wants a longer shaft!

Yeah, but 3 inches would double the length of your shaft

how much would that cost?

move ur diff back then measure it then get Gibsons to lengthen ,easy as tho it might be cheaper to get a shaft outa a long wheelbase and shorten it as shortening is cheaper then lengthening

[DIRTY ROCK STAR]

Johnny thanks for that input gaybar!

go back to findling your sister.

surely there is a cruiser that has the length im after or close to it.

60,55,45,47, yada yada. something will be sweet. maybe they will be not perfect but they will do...

hows that lux going?? you finished it yet tiger????

[MYV84B]

I dont think ull get away without shortening or lenghtening 1

its eitha short wheelbase shaft or long wheelbase mate

u no my lux will neva b finished mate

I needed my rear shaft lenthened but the splines were worn. I just happened to have a spare lwb shaft with good splines so had that shortened and new uni's fitted for about $115. Don't bother trying to get a secondhand toyota shaft that just happens to be the right length because chances are it won't be the right length and the splines probably will be worn. If your splines are good just get your shaft lengthened. It doesn't cost much. Otherwise try to get a lwb shaft with good splines and get it shortened.

[DIRTY ROCK STAR]

sweet.

i will get on the case.

i think i have a spare shaft at home. so i might dig it out and sus it.

cheers for the serious responses.
