while true, experience tells me that if there ever is a bind up that

Re: slip yoke eliminator...brand? recommendations? install help?
Well, yes and no. I have seen reports of people breaking the "hack and tap"
due to too deep a hole drilled, weakening the shaft at the narrow point.
That's all. I suppose, if you beef up everything else, you will break the
weakest link if you try hard enough.
Actually I will probably get the "hack and tap" for my TJ, though.

I've used the 'hack and tap' without incident. Also, I agree with Nathan
about the stoutness of the stock shaft.
