prop shaft for 4 wheel drive

[circmand]

So, when I bought my VX, the front prop shaft for the 4x4 was jacked up and making noise, so I worked a repair into the deal. The dealership ordered the new shaft from Isuzu for around $700.. about 4 MONTHS ago! Is it typical for parts to take this long to come from Japan? Also, are these prop shafts the same as the ones for the troopers with TOD? I have been driving my VX since I got it with no front shaft. I also completely disconnected the TOD ECU, so I'm full on rear wheel drive right now, which doesn't seem to be causing any issues. I am just suffering without my 4x4! Not to mention I have yet to see what this "TOD" is all about.. Does anyone know where I could source a used shaft and what it might cost? Any suggestions, comments? Thanks Again fellow VXers!

The way this works is all parts must be ordered and paid for then when a shipping container load is ready the parts are sent. However I recently got a part I preordered so it should be here by now.

x2 on trooper, or Acura SLX. I got one in the yard off of an Acura, like 25 bucks, ordered another one on ebay for 60 or 70 shipped. Need to get another one again, keep ripping boots and doing dumb things like driving in dirty water...I really need to find a driveline shop to build me one with cardinals instead.
