"...if I go to Ineos I get 12 months or end of warranty guarantee on the joint and any damage a failure may cause as I am standard everything."

Not trying to deprive Sven of a sale... but...

CRH, you are not the target consumer. You are within the factory warranty, you do not have a lift, and if your driveshaft fails, Ineos should replace it and repair any damage done as a result of its failure, all under warranty. Were I in your situation, I would continue to use the Ineos factory driveshaft.

Alternatively, I am Sven's target consumer. I have lifted my truck by 2.5" giving Ineos a reason to reject a warranty claim. And, because of the lift, extended 75+mph driving in south Texas 100°F heat, and periodic off road hijinks, my factory driveshaft is likely to fail.

This was the reason for my questions, I applaud Sven for what he has done and intend to purchase when out of warranty. It wad obvious that you were the target audience. I have discussed the questions further Sven in PM. I do feel that the prop shaft that Sven had developed is for all of us not just your specific use, I too drive at 70mph and would be terrified if it were to go at that speed. I also want it to be replaced with something that is for 'my type of use' too, not just lifted rock crawlers, hence all the questions, they were not just for me but for everyone reading the thread. If we realise this is the solution for all then all the better and more sales for Sven.

Two very valid posts. In the immediate term, lifted vehicles. In the long term, all of us.

For me it comes down to reliability. Can I take off for a 2k mile round trip and not be prepared? The warranty is another issue.

For now, a cv is a small cardboard box to carry.

I could never figure out why tom woods wouldn’t make one like this. I just figured there was something in the art of the driveshaft I do not know.

And laying on your back after midnight in the mud and snow on a high speed interstate highway as the drunks and lorries roll past while the nearest dealer is hundreds of miles away. If you travel far - stock or not - Sven's shaft may impart some peace of mind.

They won't make it for a few reasons. The first and foremost is that the angles exceed the joints published continuous angle. This is a problem I ran into for a long time. Everyone needs to understand that DC shafts are not designed or meant to operate at these angles. They will for a long time, but they aren't meant for it. Big shops including the one building my shafts don't like the liability. To get one built by a reputable shop took a lot of repetitive conversations. Second is having the correct fixtures to balance a shaft with the Rzeppa joint. Third is simply volume of shafts to be made.
