i am running a 16" big spline like that up front, no problems and my uncle has been running one for a few years now, without problems. the splines are huge compared to my tom woods in the rear.
he built me a new front for super cheap like the day before ejs last year!

i called him the weekend before moab and asked if he could make me a driveline that day, and he did it. a lot cheaper than tom woods too.

i thought he was cool, guess i was wrong? :ugh:

If the man did you right that is cool, everyone has their opinion. No biggie..

Here's my opinion. This happened to a friend.

1 new driveshaft, bolted to the vehicle (Sidekick, no gearing), loaded on the trailer taken to the shop, off the trailer, give it gas to go through the doors and this happens.


Take it back and he say's "sorry, that sucks I can do NOTHING for you." :mad2: :mad2:

didn't happen to mine or my uncles and they have both been heavily abused
that driveline is different than mine though.

That seems to be how driveline shops build drivelines. They all seem to use thin tube. About the thickest I've ever seen come out of a real shop is .120 wall. For dedicated trail rigs it's not hard to build driveshafts yourself out of ridicuthick material, and they never pretzel like that. They're not usually perfectly balanced, but who cares, for a trail/comp rig?
