Okay. As I was trying to find out the source of vibration, I twisted the head off a U joint bolt in the rear yoke. It has a dual cadron driveshaft of an unknown manufacture.
My question is, what size yoke and U-joint do I need to get?
Is there anyway I can determine the size of the U-joint by looking at it?

Pics are a big help. I can help identify the ujoint if you can give me the cap diameter and the distance between the snap rings.
 
To assist Forum members to answer your question post some pictures of the driveshaft and yoke.
According to your Profile you have a Rubicon so the rear differential should be a Dana 44 unless you or the PO have replaced the differential at some point.
Answers to some of your questions can be found in the Factory Service Manual in Section 3.

That only gives information for a stock TJ, he is running some kind of an aftermarket DC driveshaft in the rear. It could have a 1310, 1330, or possibly even a 1350 size. Most likely of course is it's a 1310 size u-joint.
 
I’m having similar issues. Having trouble finding a replacement it’s double carden, unsure if I have a SYE. Can’t find the end that bolts to the yoke that matches mine. think mine is wore out at the center ball. I’ll add pics. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You have a whack and tap SYE. The centering flange is Spicer 211229x but the bigger problem is that the pin yoke is worn out and will need to be replaced.

Found a replacement flange 3x cheaper than Spicer. https://4xshaft.com/products/spicer-211229x-replacement-socket-flange
I take it the yoke pin is replaceable which is a relief but unsure of exactly what I need. What’s your thoughts?
The previous owner has modified a lot more than I thought, and it’s frustrating trying to figuring out what exactly I need.

The only way to replace the pin yoke is to cut and weld a new one on the shaft. You may just be better to talk to @Shawn at Tom Wood's about getting a new shaft.
