Wow. That last demo (letting the thing freewheel) was awesome! If I had one of those on my front driveshaft I wouldn't have lost brakes, ebrakes, speedo and a yoke last year.

From their website:

No requirement for phased or parallel connecting flanges as with traditional UJ technology.


I take this to mean no more requirement to align pinion to transfer case end, that makes life easier for the coil spring crowd.
Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay - and claims a halo for his dishonesty.
