I had a nice boat for about 6 years. I spent ALOT of money on it. I
was told, and I know from first hand experience, that boat stands for
Break Out Another Thousand!! How true. The boat was a lot of fun, but
not half as fun as driving a Jeep!!

If it helps any, I went through the EXACT same problem when I first got
my '87 Wrangler. Just bite the bullet and get it fixed right so it
doesn't come back to haunt you.

Heh, I should have read all the way through the thread before I
commented. Not only did I have the same problem with the yoke and the
poorly fitting U joint, I got rid of the boat so I could fit the jeep in
the garage when I bought it. :)

Your yoke is now damaged from the last loose one.

I have 'never' seen a successful fix, the yoke needs replacing.

I had the exact thing happen to my CJ7 and tried to keep using it
'loose' like you have hoping the new straps would hold it. I got away
with it for quite a while too, but...

When it let got again, it grenaded the yoke so the driveshaft turned
into a propeller taking out my exhaust, my gas line and my brake line
while punching holes in the floor of the Jeep.
