Hey now.....oh hell who am i kidding it was always ugly as hell :icon_rofl:, but it served me well for many years of fun and abuse. :icon_rofl: He was given a great idea, this comes to mind :icon_surprised:

I didn't make the shaft... I took the front yoke from a 1354 case and installed it on the rear of the tcase so it would accept the cv style shaft. Took a stock shaft from a 91-94 explorer (doesn't matter auto or 5spd as the a4ld and m5ord are the same lengths), then took the 8.8 ujoint flange...
