This CV style driveshaft has less than 2k miles on it (probably closer to 500 since I had the hubs unlocked so this wasn't spinning).

It was just shortened and balanced by Tom Woods and has 0 miles on it since. Only a day of cycling my axle in the garage.

It has 1310 joints and it's made for 36.625" yoke to yoke.

Be aware that this shaft is a smaller 1.25" in diameter so it's not suited for a rear shaft and smaller than stock for the front. Good if you have clearance issues or for a spare. Not good for cruising down the highway (either use locking hubs or tie up the driveshaft on the highway).

Can I ask why this shaft is not good for driving down the highway? Is it simply not as strong as OEM?

The 1.25" OD of the shaft tubing doesn't provide the same rotational stability as the 2" OD of the OEM shaft.

Offroad it's plenty strong.
