Thompson Coupling
« on: November 03, 2010, 10:54:00 PM »
I recently posted this on the chit-chat part of the forum and noticed I wasn't getting any response!  i discovered that is because this is where this thread belongs.

So have a read and check it out, may be the future of off-roading, if its not already!

During my research this weekend I came across a blog feed on JEEPFORUM.COM that discussed SYE/CV for lifted jeeps.  In the article they showed a video of the Thompson Coupling drive shaft, but said nothing about where you could get it or if it was actually any good in real world conditions.

So I was wondering if any of you out there have heard of it? Or better yet have it?

Heres the link for those who are interested,

Thanks

they have different models some stronger then others but they are not able to handle high RPM or unable to pass 15 degres of angle

so its something that has to be looked into . and they look huge comepaired to a regular U joint drive shaft
