Drive shafts. DIY vs shops

Jonesy · 11-27-2012, 10:31 PM

Need a new front drive shaft for my Toyota. The one I just slung out was a square tube shaft I threw together just to get on the trails. The factory slip isn't long enough any more.

So my questions are. Are there any reputable drive line companies in the area that don't think their stuff is made of gold? Should I just buy one of the DIY kits from Marlin, trail gear or the like? This is off road only so it doesn't need to be balanced.

Anything else that I should take into consideration?
