Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone could help me on this issue. im looking to buy just the actual double cardan joint for my fj40. I was just going to try and get that and do a box section driveshaft myself. Its an off road only truck so it will be trailered every where. I called drive line services on the northside of brisbane they said they wanted over $400 bucks for one which i thought was very steep. Any suggestions would be great, thanks in advance.

i was under the impression that some hilux's had dbl cardon on their driveshafts...

maybe find one from a wrecker and use that as a donor?

was that in the older models? i had an 89 lux a couple of years ago and don't remember one being there. ill look into it. cheers.

60 series have on the front (the 60 I wrecked did). Could always shorten one of thoese to suit.

my 60 has one and it is a 83 and all my old hilux 81,82,85 had one

IFS hiluxes have one on the front shaft

thanks guys picked one up today, for $60, thats a bit better than $400. its off a v6 hilux. it looks a i will have to use the hilux uni's when making the driveshaft. cheers

some 60 series have them... the ones that do use hilux uni's, so there shouldn't be a problem/

picked up another one today, a 60 series front driveshaft with the double cardan joint on it for $30. i was pretty chuffed when i lined it up on my 40 and found that it will fit very nicely for the rear driveshaft, might need a spacer. Im sure i haven't discovered anything new but i enjoyed that little win on a friday arvo. thanks for the help guys.
