A great example of what is referred to as skill. Techniques and knowledge that is gained over time of being committed to creating the best results possible. No guessing on what to do, what he does gives him the results he is looking for. Simple but very effective tools and the skill to use is the way it has been done to give us what we have. Great video Mr. Rose.

It is amazing that people pick up on "Clean" as I do. I need a new front driveshaft double cardan for a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ. I swapped out a universal with a hammer and socket in an emergency. I bought a press after that. Local Milwaukee shop tried balancing it 3 times but it still buzzes at 70 mph. Taking the shaft off and just use the rear they made the Jeep is smooth at any speed.

Think I need something like this. Bought a few shafts from tom wood's thinking they were something special based on what I had read. bent the last one the first trip out. If you're gonna play in the rocks, .120 wall is no good. Definitely go 1/4" wall. Don't listen to them if they tell you otherwise

Stupid question time here. At what point do you build the drive shaft so strong that you break a more expensive harder to replace part? I am not trying to be silly, stupid or anything else. My Jeep YJ is not a mall crawler or a rock crawler. I would rather to replace a drive shaft on the trail over the T-Case. Same can be said for the straps on the driveshaft shaft. The more you strengthen one point, the more another point becomes the breakage point.
