Hopefully you don't have to because usually when that happens you are flexed out and in position where functioning driveshafts would help out alot. Last time I was at rausch we were waiting for another group to finish up a hill climb and one YJ end up flexing a little to much and his shaft seperated. One winch and a couple of straps to make sure he didn't flop got him to the top of the hill where he could put the shaft back together.

That looks fine.... I had a similar thing with my Tom Woods and called them and they said it's no an issue. There is plenty of spline left.

That's good to hear that from another person.

If tom said its fine its fine..... if it seperates or breaks which it probably wont its the front shaft so u could always pull it and be fine, and then you make a wtf phone call to woods. The shaft you have is good for your height. My coast rear has the same or maybe more showing than that. im not worried about it. btw the coast came with spicers......lol
