The weld transfers all the torsional force! I recommend you throw away that round tube garbage, grind some flats onto the yoke and stick it in a piece of square tubing. Toss a little weld at it (which now, with this inherently better design, has the sole purpose of holding the two pieces together...torsional force is transferred by the square interface!) and you're good to go! Advice and technical assessment free of charge...you're welcome!

    Getting a splined shaft that has enough travel and doesnt cost over $500...

    I've been thinking about experimenting with tractor PTO shafts but thats a conversation for another day.
    On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"

    the money i spent on the yokes and flange was nothing compared to a complete long travel shaft. you would have **** your pants if you heard what he was going to charge for one. i almost did

    to me spending the money on a $600+ front driveshaft just isnt worth it, with square tube you can basiclly have unlimited travel, a constant "spline engagement", and if you are feeling frisky even .375 wall. Now for the rear its a different story.
