Anyone have any tips for keeping everything fairly straight and true?

What yoke did you get that fits that splined shaft you got?

I'm going to try this too. I ordered 4 couplings and a shaft. 1 of the couplings will be welded to the shaft and then welded in the tube. The other 3 couplings will get welded together for 6 3/4" of splined slip, and welded inside the tube. I ordered two 1350 weld yokes from Drivetrain America that will fit in a piece of my 2 1/8 DOM that I had left over from my cage. I will have the shop down the street turn down the couplings to fit inside my DOM tube. 2" to 1.178" This cost was $200 to my door.

For anyone interested in the ones mentioned by fabricator, here is a PDF to check out.

Update on the drive shaft I built using the 1 3/8 spline from surplus center. It failed after 3 trips. I twisted the splines enough to lock it up. I hit a rut and it jammed the d shaft through the transfer case.

I ended up buyng the Neapco parts that fabricator mentioned from drivetrain america to build a new one. I worked it out so I could reuse the end yokes I had. This one is 1 5/8, so it better last...

That's what I used on the front of my buggy. No issues so far.
