HELP!!!! NEED a stock rear drive shaft TODAY!!!

[RumbleGoat]

Came down from Washington to run the Rubicon. Broke my rear drive shaft and have to have one to catch the group and drive home!
AW4 and 8.25.

What and where? I really appreciate it!

But I work at 3-7

I gotcha. I'm in Nevada City, you could drive in 4wd (rear shaft removed of course) down here & pick up up any time. It's a AW4 / 231 / 8.25 shaft. Needs balanced but it'll get you home.

He'll loose all the fluid from his tcase if he drives without a rear shaft won't he.

To close the loop.....

This worked out GREAT!!!!! I can't thank yossarian19 enough! Sierra chapter has an open invite if you need a guide for Washington trails....Rimrock anyone?

 

[yossarian19]

Glad it worked out & you got home without incident. I'll see if the wife and I can take you up on that some time

 

[RumbleGoat]

Not home yet, but the drive shaft got us both ways on Cadillac Hill and we are currently eating lunch in Redding on the way home.....smooth sailing.

So glad to hear! Man that sucks hope you learned your lesson

 

[RumbleGoat]

The bad part is that I do have a spare. In my rush to pack, it didn't make it in.

Home safe and with a great story!
