North side/Broomfield area drive shaft shop recommendations?

[gr8fulabe]

Anyone know of a good drive shaft shop that won't break the bank on the north side, Broomfield-ish area? I've got a buddy that has a 2001 Tacoma in need of a new one. Figured I'd see what's out there while he figures out exactly what he wants to do (haven't heard from him directly yet, Erica just mentioned he needs one & is going to call me).

He's a frugal guy, so if someone has a good used one out there, he might be interested in buying it.

Thanks!

I’ve used driveline service of Boulder.
Solid dude with a good turn around time.

Thanks Guys!

I just got a bit more info from him. See below. The Tacoma does have a small lift on it, like 3" lift & running 31x10.5's. He uses the truck to get up & go fishing & such, but just jeep roads & such, no real hard core stuff. So I wouldn't think this would be a fancy drive shaft at all....

Do driveshafts really run that high usually? I have zero frame of reference on them.

Thanks again for any insights! If people think it sounds off, I'll direct him to Driveline of Boulder you guys mention above!
Thanks!

tell him to have it retubed... that should be under 500

Bill's Englewood Driveshaft adds an extra half hour to his drive each way, but could probably do that for under $500. They're always VERY knowable and extremely reasonable when I go there. Bill understands modified geometry and how to build driveshafts specifically for your truck's purpose. I've used them probably 4-5 times and can't recomend them enough.

If your friend goes there, just a note on the location: Google maps will drop a pin on S Broadway and when you go by, it's an empty storefront. The entrance is in the alley.

I recently had the 62s rear driveshaft retubed at Front Range Driveshaft for $186, only a few $$ more than it was four years ago. Reused the oem joints as Bill, the owner, says even used Toyota joints are the best available. Needless to say, I was surprised and happy. Topnotch work and quick turnaround. Out of practical distance for Abe’s situation but I mention it to show what a good retubing might cost.
