Unreal! Blew up my rear driveshaft front U-joint yesterday and had to drive home on the front end only - with the rear driveshaft removed.
Today I had a brand new rear driveshaft delivered to my shop for $100!
I just installed it and drove home on it.
The seller had it custom made for their rig (same vehicle and same lift as mine) and then after putting less than 100 miles on the vehicle, they parked it. Then it sat for a couple years and then they decided to part it out.
I was getting price quotes of $800 at a local drive shaft shop. As it turns out, that same shop built this drive shaft a couple years ago. It has their stickers on it showing the company name, a sticker showing that it has been balanced, etc.

I'm just going to point it out, having the trans and t-case combo, along with the amount of lift posted in your first post might have been beneficial. If you hadn't of just lucked into one locally, of course.
