It's worth $68 in shipping to not curse that much. Buy the Lucky8 propshaft.

I also go the Lucky8 front shaft the other day... Very easy install and nice to be done and over with it. $68 for shipping is a barging, it cost be about $120 after customs and such to get it to Canada. Well worth it!

I use 2-5 LR parts vendors in the UK and rarely any in France (usually far too expensive) and JGS are the best of all. I have used Mister Auto on 2 occasions who are the best of the Anglo French vendors. Pièces auto LAND ROVER DISCOVERY II (LJ, LT) 2.5 Td5 (139Ch)

Now Pajero parts vendors are a totally different matter.

Slight thread hi-jack here, but I just put on my new Lucky8 shaft and darned if I can't get my grease gun fitting to fit the zerk on the front U-joint; it is too tight a space. anyone know where to find a skinny grease gun fitting?

Other than that, the shaft looks great, comes with 4 bolts and 8 new nuts and the slip-shaft zerk is fitted in lieu of the factory-style plug. excellent bargain.

reposition the u-joint, then you can grease it, if not, take your grease gun fitting to a bench grinder and grind it down on two sides.

Yes, ordered the shaft yesterday. Thanks Erik. I was expecting more for shipping, so that was nice.
