Toyota, Milners or Roughtrax. How many you need depends on how many are shagged. If you haven't greased them up previously, that would be your best starting point. One or more may just be running dry, so to speak.

If your local motor factors can get blueprint parts you need part number ADT33905.

The Surf has 5 Uni Joints. One each end of the tailshafts which are all the same. There is another on the front of Transfer Case which is called a Double Cardan Joint. This is a different and more expensive joint.
