Finally making headway on a reasonably priced and easily accessible driveshaft replacement for us!!!

Going from the OEM treated steel 45wall, to 85 wall chromoly with serviceable joints! Will hold all of our needs and have maintaince options if any part of it breaks or wears.

Will give more information as I get it!

Yes, we twist them, I've been through 3. And above 500ft/lb it becomes dicey

Vibrations, noises, or just plain twisting it
