Its been 2 years and I can't remember if I had a rear driveshaft or not. Bad case of CRS I guess. Can't find it if I did.   :dontknow:

I'm in San Antonio.
Thanks,
Richard

I will probably have to resize it anyways.  I wonder if I can talk Noah or Eric into bringing it back from your Easter Spring Fling at HF.   

Just curious how your stock driveshaft fit length wise with the 4" lift?  Any issues?  Didn't you do the shackle flip also?

I did not see this in time and did not bring them, but we can figure something out. I want to do a sea world trip with the boys soon.

I have no issues with my driveshafts on my lift. I did not even have to adjust my pinion angle.... I was shocked. granted I did not install the 2" lift blocks either. I did not do the shackle flip because it was at a height I like... I just need more than 31's on it so I don't high center the difs

I'll have a spare '92 driveshaft soon!  I met with Hank at Pittsburgh Driveshaft today - showed him what I was going to do with the slip yoke eliminator.  He showed me the driveshaft he already HAS to replace my old one!  :o   The man is GOOD!

Richard I'm pretty sure I have the original worn out drive shafts out of my 78. They are yours if you want them.

Thanks!

I was just telling Ryan that it looks like he'll be using his extra one now.

On a side note,I had a hard time finding 7260s online. Anyone know of a source?  Looks like Denny's Driveshaft discontinued them.

SYE = $451 shipped
New driveshaft with double cardon - $325
Installation of both = Lord ONLY knows...  ::)

Doing "Dukes of Hazzard" jumps in your RC...


Priceless!  :tongue3:

I can already do the jumps (I think I proved that this weekend)... its just the landings that don't go well... and if you want the old shows closely they had the same results most of the time.  :laughing4:

Well jumping around the boondocks of TX is all fine and well, but I'm 4 miles from downtown Pittsburgh.  So when I wanna have an urban wheeling adventure, this is what I'M thinking of!

My college wingman (who was a dead ringer for Seagal back in THOSE days - 6' 2", black hair and ponytail) and I were eating this stuff up back in 1990 at the U.  It's only taken 24 years now, but I've got the 1911's




I've got the Benelli M1 Super 90


  And I'm a SYE and new driveshaft away, from having the RAMCHARGER to do it in!  And I can find the Jamaican Voodoo Posse about 2 miles away - all the ingredients you need for a great afternoon of URBAN wheeling in your RAMCHARGER!!!   :great:
