night carnage 2/13/09

so yeah, went out wheeling last night, broke my front drive shaft and took out the damn marker lights i JUST replaced! and a few nice dents. heres a few pics of the carnage


the tree did some damage....


trying to put new U-joint in on the trail sucks, specilly when the damn bolt is broke in the hole for the strap......


not a fun time!

you need to drill the yoke and then put in u-bolt style u-joint straps then when you rip out the u-joint out you can put it to gether without broken bolts

yeah im going to do that, i got the u-bolt kit laying around somewhere that i had for my dana 35, the yokes are the same so it should work the same

well that d shaft angle dont look like its helping the cause.

you need to bring that thing over and look at the angle of the shaft

hey dean, i fixed the u-joint and went out wheeling today....... while out there i noticed that my driver side upper control arm was bent and had a crack in it, that caused my passenger side upper control arm to peel itself away from the axle tube. by the time i got it out of the woods it was BARELY still attached on the passengers side, and completly broken off the drivers side and the axle spun itself upwards........ mikey brought his F-450 out and gave me a tow home luckily cuz that woulda been scary trying to drive home.......

thats common everyone that I know that beat on jeeps with stock control arms has that happen

Its a JEEP thing hahahahahahahaha.

dean im insulted...... i cant believe you would imply that i "beat" on my jeep! what nerve!
