Checked your tailshaft alignment?
Made sure your uni's are in sync?
Made sure your rear U bolts are tight? (often overlooked)
Check all this first before you consider a one peice.

my suggestion check your u-bolts if there tight go stragih5t to the one piece shaft. my old hilux had a 2 piece and flogged otu centre bearings all the time my new oen has a heavy wall single piece in it and its so much better heaps mroe response through the driveline and less vibration. from your sig line i see your running a 308? with this power i woudl highly recommend a single piece

Another thing to look at is putting a double cardin joint (found on the transfer case end of your front tailsaft RE wrekers) in it to help with the angle your uni's run at depending on lift maybe even rotaiting your pinion angle

has a fair bit of lift, good 5-6 inch woth so angles are pretty bad. have had 4 centre bearings in the past 12 months, even tried lowering the mounts on the centre bearing, but the extra power just ruins the two piece regardless, rotating pinion angle, already have wedges in the rear to get the angle more straight but i think i need to lower the mounts at the gearbox cross member also, and then the one piece hopefully will correct this vibration... cheers for the respopnses

Take you tailshaft to your nearst tailshaft fella. he will use your old flanges of your shaft and unis if they are good. mine cost me 350 for my lux and all i did was measure between g/box and rear diff.
