Driveshaft orientation...quick question!
Being the first things I took off and the last thing I'm putting back on, I can't remember the orientation. I know the longer one is the front shaft. Could someone take a peek under their Bronco and tell me which way the rubber boot part should be facing on the front and rear driveshafts? Thanks!

On either end of the truck the rubber boot section should be closest to the transfer case.

Thanks guys. I figured it out once I tried to bolt them up. Staring at them in the corner of your garage does not figure things out though!
