quick online search shows 181.99 for the male, and 49.99 for female from northern drivetrain.

Anyone have any tips for keeping everything fairly straight and true?

What yoke did you get that fits that splined shaft you got?

I'm going to try this too. I ordered 4 couplings and a shaft. 1 of the couplings will be welded to the shaft and then welded in the tube. The other 3 couplings will get welded together for 6 3/4" of splined slip, and welded inside the tube. I ordered two 1350 weld yokes from Drivetrain America that will fit in a piece of my 2 1/8 DOM that I had left over from my cage. I will have the shop down the street turn down the couplings to fit inside my DOM tube. 2" to 1.178" This cost was $200 to my door.

For anyone interested in the ones mentioned by fabricator, here is a PDF to check out.

Update on the drive shaft I built using the 1 3/8 spline from surplus center. It failed after 3 trips. I twisted the splines enough to lock it up. I hit a rut and it jammed the d shaft through the transfer case.

I ended up buyng the Neapco parts that fabricator mentioned from drivetrain america to build a new one. I worked it out so I could reuse the end yokes I had. This one is 1 5/8, so it better last...

That's what I used on the front of my buggy. No issues so far.
