I've finally regained

[Kejtar]

3K rpm's Well not really the 3K rpm's but more like 77mph (or therebouts). It was a long and time consuming process
1. Put in a new/rebuilt driveshaft up front.
2. Swap new TRE's in
3. Discover bent in LCA mount
4. Fight with a stuck bolt in the UCA, tighten the UCA bushing upon removal of said bolt.
5. Fix the LCA mount!

Now to give credit where it's due:
Thanks goes out to Cracker for the line on the cheap driveline shop
Thanks goes out to Mike, Curt and Cal for helping me with the damn bolt (well, they just drank my beer for the most part and spelled me at the drill).
Many thanks go out to Dan and his wonderful welding and fab skills, although I was doing all the cutting (although I was following his directions for the most part). Btw, free cutting (as in with no guide) with plasma produces some interesting results. Also using a sawzall on an LCA mount is more work than I had expected..

Oh yeah, if someone thought it's going to be a post about me regaining my sanity, here's an update: I"m still searching

Don't worry, we'd never think you'd regain your sanity.

I actually owe Capitan Ron a word of thanks for helping me for TEN hours while we fixed my $hit last night.

It looks like we are all in that final 'rush' to fix our $hit in time for Moab.

What's left for you to do Remi?

How'd it feel on the drive home?? At least your steering wheel is straight again. Speaking of straight steering wheels....I need to work on my junk, and Tim's, and my trailer, and my tow rig, help Rabbit with his junk (don't know what he needs, but I owe him for sure) all in the next two weeks before Moab. It's gonna go quick.

It felt good: better than it did in a long time. And the steering wheel, I have to adjust it a bit after all as when I redid the TRE's I set it more or less straight for the prior axle position, so it's off by a hair.
