2" square and some 2.5" square... 1/4 wall of course.  attach you joints to it via the welder.  try searching "square shaft" that should tell you all you need to know.   might want to search grease fittings as well.  nice and quiet         Good Luck

I made a square one just like he described to have as a trail spare.... But it worked so well I have never taken it off. The only serious drawback that I have with it is that I can't go over about 45mph in 4wd...too many vibes
You can see it in this video near the end.

It was more like front wheel drive   after I sheared a pinion shaft in two in the middle of metal masher in moab during EJS.
