[QUOTE="84Toyota4x4, post: 1093857, member: 16626"] Well, just as an update and a conclusion to this thread, I went ahead and did it myself. I cut the end off my old shaft in a vice using a sawzall following the weld edge and it came right out with some big channel locks. Did the same for the CV end, but it fought a little more, haha. Got them all out, made sure the cut end was square, then persuaded the CV into the tube with a 5 LB sledge. Once it was in, I made sure I had it in far enough but not too far, and made sure it was square to the tube. All looked good so I welded it up and shot it with some new paint. Got it installed (after swapping t-case flanges because there wasnt enough room to drill the new pattern), greased the joints and took it for a test drive. Went well up to 35 MPH with no vibes so far. No exhaust on it so I was trying not to piss off the neighbors too much. I still need to cut and rotate the rear axle as well, but it seems to work great so far. I ended up with 1.25" of spline compression travel, the rest is all extension. Of course some pictures as well...
