I had my first carnage because of heavy use of the right foot with the new motor. I snapped a 1 ton U-Joint on the rear drive shaft connected to my 14 bolt rear end when I was hammering a rock ledge. I made it up, but right as I was going to the next ledge my foot got heavy again and it snapped. I need to fab up a traction bar because the 14 bolt is wrapping the leaf springs.
Bill at Englewood Driveshaft not only had the new parts in stock, but he fixed it in a half day!!! Wow one day service on a custom 1 Ton setup and it is better than before. Almost too nice to bash up on the rocks… but I will.
Pics of the Hill.
The broken joint. I did not get a pic of the broke drive shaft end, only the axle.
The last pics are the Fixed Drive Shaft
I drove home on the front Driveshaft.
