Yeah, good thing all that is going away.
Not so sure I'd use those as any kind of yard stick for your own work...
Indeed!
First post/new TJ owner.
Received my '06 TJ from my uncle recently and had it shipped from AZ to SC. New bumper and a couple new nutserts on the skid plates and it was ready to go. Installed a double din radio as well. Took the Jeep to a big offroad event here in SC and got to test the limits of myself and the Jeep.

Welcome to the best forum. That's an awesome inheritance. Enjoy.
Well why don’t you enlighten the guy since you seem to know? I thought I made it pretty obvious that I wasn’t certain in my response.
Finished the install of the u-joints and driveshaft today. Though the front one at the cardan on one side seems like the gap is too close (this is the only spot). Everything else looks good. Saved two of the old ones for spare parts on the trail.
Seems to be a "just for the looks" type of thing. I was planning to remove it whenever I put in one of those cowling filters.

appreciate the info - so what is the brand of this "big brake kit"? Black magic?
You might keep an eye on that clip, though it does look fully seated!
That happened when I saw the gap was so small. I tried to see if u- joint was seated correctly. The clip is seated but I’ll keep an eye on it.
Just don't do that literally. You only have two eyes.
Decided to drop the DS again. @Zorba was right probably took 20 minutes to get everything out. All the bushing were installed correctly. Decided to remove the u-joint at the centering ball assembly to see if it was an issue. Nope all correct. So rotated the H-yoke 180 degrees to see if the same thing would happen and it did. Same side too.
Sean @Tom woods said it may have been always been like that. Suggested putting it up and dropping the DS down to see if would hit. Said I might be surprised how much it might flex and never hit.
Here are some pics.
Annoying at this point.

I thought it looked a little different from checking out the thread you posted.
I am curious how much room you end up with in the area circled in red when it was installed. If the DS is rotated down (to the left in the picture) seems like the gap would be smaller as the joint moves towards the H-yoke.
Back in the day , it was common to grind a small amount off the H yoke on lifted square body Chevy's . Take it apart , grind a little , and put this issue behind you. It's an easy , permanent , fix .
