Depending on the LEDs you used, they might be wired backwards. LEDs have to be the right polarity, only some of the more expensive units have the extra diodes that let them hook up either way.

You're right, it looks like it has the geometry of a double cardan without the double cardan. Now I'm rethinking what I did when I lifted my JK (3.5 inch AEV lift) - the advice I got was to install a double cardan front driveshaft but I did nothing about the pinion angle. Huh. Now I have even...

OK, I started going down the rabbit hole of reading about pinion angles and I think I see what you're talking about. Basically tuning to reduce the u-joint wobble vibrations. As far as the front, the longer driveshaft definitely reduces the angles, and when I measured the flats on the Dana 30...

I bought a fixer-upper high mileage 2001 TJ with a Dana 44 on the rear. It has a 4 inch lift and it seems the control arms are set up to rotate the axle so the driveshaft has a more or less straight shot at the t-case (so the pinion to driveshaft u-joint doesn't bind up). But this means the face of...

I bought whatever NAPA pulled up: NAPA p/n UNR 25060882. Kind pricey though, was around 80 CAD which is 65 USD. Haven't installed it yet pending my pulley replacements, but tested the width and groove against the alternator and it looks good so far.

Saw a video where the T40 was stripped, so they took a grinder/cutting wheel and made the head of the bolt square, then used a 18mm socket on it. Or maybe an open end wench . Might work in a pinch.
