Jim,
By both driveshafts do you mean both halves of a 2-piece driveshaft? I hadn't thought about that part, whether they treat it as two separate units requiring two loops! In that case a crew cab 4x4 would need 3 loops! The tough part on a 4x4 is positioning the front loop so close to the front u-joint, how do you secure it while still allowing for axle articulation? I have seen some set-ups which secure to the front axle housing, which presumably meets the "securely mounted" requirement.

Regards,

Well, in my case, being 2WD, my driveline had a center carrier bearing with front and rear driveshafts. I guess you could say - where there's smoke there is fire, or, in this case, where there's a u-joint, a driveshaft loop is required (dependant on the speed criteria of course).

We have a one piece shaft in the back and a one piece shaft in the front(4x4).

I had 2 loops made per shaft, not sure if two are needed for each, but they are made per NHRA spec. The front one on the front shaft is not easy, but should work great if something happens.

Ken and I will be camping at the track Friday and Sat. See ya all soon.

Brad, good luck, wouldn't be the same without you guys!
