Hey guys, this is my FIRST EVER OL4x4 POST, so here goes!
I have been reading your threads for a few weeks now and it seems that you guys have your 4x4 tech pretty much wrapped up. Loads of guys here are starting to import Aussie stuff for Landys.
There has been mention of people using CVs in thier propshafts instead of UJs, which seems to me to be a good idea. I have just fitted homebrew custom cranked front and rear radius arms to the Landy, and there is quite a bit of rumble from the UJs now. This is stock on-the-road, so offroad I guess there would be more chance of something blowing.
Having had a front UJ break up at about 50mph and the propshaft try and hammer it's way into the footwell, it's not an experience I'd want to relive!
Is there an easy way of using a CV in pace of one UJ in the shaft? Or would you be able to swap them both? Would this be as strong as a UJ? And which CV should I use?
Thanks for your help in this guys!

What you are looking for is not a CV in the bell/cage/bearing sense of the term but instead two UJ's back to back - also called a CV and sometimes a double cardan...
