Made up my own front prop shaft. Long story the prop shaft manufactures in our area do not have tubing with an id of 39mm nor new UJ ends
to match the Patrols pcd. I turned sleeves on the lathe and made use of 75mm tubing. Also manufactured a adapter between the Cruiser box and Patrol prop shaft. A run out of only 0.01 mm over 750mm not to bad.
Took the baby for a test drive yesterday, all I can say I am impressed very impressed.

Great looking Patrol. I really like that you didn't radius the rear quarters. I'm weird that way?
