Well, I was able to put the driveshaft in. Do you guys have any recommendations on how to tighten down the bolts and nuts easily? It won't fit a socket and you can barely fit a wrench in there. The front of the driveshaft seems to be a 15 mm while the rear is a 14 mm. Thanks once again guys in advance!

For those that see this just leave transfer case on neutral and you should be able to spin assembly I believe. Thanks for the help guys! Hoping to get some mud on my little tank soon!!!

Well, put the front drive shaft on and i still had some vibrations after 60. driving on the freeway yesterday vibration got really bad and my rear drive shaft flew off. so Now I must replace rear. I am hoping it was just old and came off? hoping once i put a new one I wont have any more problems.

OK guessing you have a Rotoflex? Rubber thing in place of u joint

So is the drive shaft damaged?

If it just came apart guess you CA buy a rotoflex and throw it all back together, or switch to an all u joint drive shaft rotor was weak and driving with no front shaft killed it

Either way new u joint, new rotor before putting back in

I purchased a rear drive shaft with perfect rear u joint included. Same guy that sold me my front shaft. Hoping when I put this in it'll run well! I'm guessing it was old and u joints went bad w improper lubrication than shot to crap. The shaft is gone sitting on side of the road.
