Amazing view and the hardest trail I've ever seen. I think running the con in reverse might be easier. Tore my steering box off the frame, sheared 1 bolt and stripped the box around the other 2. Fixed that and kept going. Broke my rear driveshaft. Winched/towe/drove front wheel drive jeep half way up Thompson hill before we gave up. Camped at the top of Thompson hill and came down in the morning to limp her out. Broke a front shaft, now 1 wheel drive. And finally snapped the sector shaft off the steering box. Jeep is still up there, going back Friday after work. I have a spare steering box, but need a rear driveshaft. Unfortunately I have a rubicon express h&t and need a shaft with their flange yoke. No time to order 1. Of course I will pay if anybody has a spare laying around? I comute to Santa Clara daily, and will drive just about anywhere to pick it up. Also need a long side axle shaft for a 70's ford full width 44.
 
I might have a spare shaft with the Spicer 211229x flange on it. I also think I have a spare 211229x flange. I'll check tonight when I get home. Parts in San Jose but I could meet you in Santa Clara or thereabouts.
 
That would be awesome, without the rear shaft I don't like my odds of getting her out. Frame is splitting around the steering box too, may rent a small generator/welder for this repair and extraction. For those who have never been, that trail is tough.
 
josh, i have a spare drive shaft with flange in the bed of my red dodge.
i am in oregon, but you know how to get on my property if you want to pick it up & get it to zachandandy, if he still needs a driveshaft.

Gotcha. I am 99% sure that I have a spare, if not I'll grab yours.
 
Ordered a set of front chromoly shafts today, hope they are here by friday. Gonna bring a generator and a welder out to fix the splitting unibody around the steering box. Still can't believe just how much of my junk I broke this weekend. This weekend is going to bring the suck for sure. At least this fiasco pushed the wife into trailer shopping this week.Probably buying a 30' trailer tonight, so both jeeps can be towed. I'll be paying off this trip for years to come.
 
wow man. thats nuts. I definetly want to plate my frame around the box some more now.
 
I do have a spare driveshaft. It is a front shaft from an automatic XJ setup for the rear HnT with 3 fresh joints and the spicer flange on it. PM sent.
