Can't imagine how expensive it would be though. Your best bet would be to have a quick look through the forum to see if anyone else has had the problem and maybe ring around and find out who makes custom tail shafts. I'm not sure if Mal Wood does but might be an idea to give them a ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is wasting thousands of dollars on repairs.. Its real cool.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I wanted it to look like all the other utes I would have left it higher. Thanx for the help rbjet I'll look into it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost you less than $1k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
