Toyota tube size for drivelines

[Boonie Buster]

Wow...

Like I said, I think I bent my slip yoke, not the tube. I need to pull it off to look, but Im too lazy. Its not like it vibrates horribly and rattles your teeth out. Its more like badly unbalanced tires, and its just around 40-45 MPH I just drive faster or slower and have no problems, haha. Ill fix it when it breaks, haha.

Ok, ya i couldn't remember what you said it was, or thought it was. I am thinking schd. 40 might be the ticket...:eeek:

anyone able to BALANCE a driveshaft? :redneck: I got under there to tap it around and was WAY to impatient, I am feeling like paying someone to do it...:haha: this doesnt happen often...:booo:

EDIT:
picked up some 2.5" shd. 40 pipe, I used 36" of it for the rear driveline.... I am still looking for some confirmation this will be ok on the road...?:corn: Not a "ITS A WHEELER, WHEEL IT!" response either :fawkdancesmiley: :haha:

I've never used sch40 as a driveline but, I've built drivelines and ran them on the street in a lot of cars/rigs... Never been a problem...

You should of put atf in it...:awesomework:

I haven't put them together and no on the ATF :redneck:

My dad said there is a place in kirkland he went to and talked with about shafts for his toyota a while ago, still there, they're called Precision Driveshaft Inc. Anyone heard of them? I might go talk to them tomorrow at lunch...:corn:

Ya its easier to wait until it kills your pinion bearings, and transcase bearings, and U joints before you fix it.

Make some V blocks, or a couple of solid casters, and build the sum bisch.
Use a dial indicator to get it within .020 runout.
If its within that spec it wont need balancing.
Personally I dont think the fit between the toyota yokes and sch 40 pipe is a tight enough fit.
So Im having a friend weld up the yokes and turn it down on a lathe, to fit the pipe correct.
I did build one with the 1st method. With the ill fitting yokes. Seems OK
As far as the jump rope effect.
I can see a thin walled tube do this from centrifugal force, because it flexes.
But sch 40 pipe. the **** is almost 1/4 wall. Lay it accross some 2x4s and jump on it. Its solid. Theres no way it would jump rope worse than .093 or what ever.
