Ok so I have now lengthened the wheelbase to 100 inches on my 40 series landcruiser I need to have the driveshafts lengthened as well.
Does anyone know or can recommend a shop in sydney who specialises in this for 4x4s....
Thanks
Eddy

Yeah I could but who does balancing and also I need to get longer slip joints also another thing is that they dont have the right diameter tubing at work to do the job....and the fact that I am too busy doing a hundred and one other things....lol

there a few places i had mien at a few differnt palces...just cause i wasnt happy with some of the work and im still havin probs...not with balacing just dogy uni's...anywyas try any of the 4wd workshops - eg.chaos,snake racing,overkill, m&m, i thinks they all do it just give me a call or drop in i dont think its all that expenive to get the shaft lengthend at the same time.
there also is a couple of DS engineerin places my way(sutherland area) but i woudlnt remrecmond there work as im not happy with wot they have dun(not guna mention name)
there shoudl be more out ur way.

go to east coast fourwheel drive wreckers at Moorebank and have a look throught the pile of cruiser shafts they have out there. take your tape measure and a pattern of your yolks on the diff and t/case, you will save yourself a grand!

Every-one here has placed a pretty accruate call.....
1: do it your self ( its dead simple )
by doing it ya self ya save 2 to 3 hundred bucks.....
2: get longer tubes from a wrecker then cut n shut
where do you think the place that will do the lengthing get the tubes from anyway ?
3: get em balanced ( most motor rebuilding shops can do this work 4 ya.)
costs around the 50 - 70 to balance em

The tube is actually imported from overseas and is special driveshaft tube.
