What'cha Break at JV? (Carnage tally)

[IMORTL]

Cut ARB front line

Busted rear tail light
rear bumper end ripped off

dent in new c4x4 front bumper
bent currie tie rod system

 

[Jes]

bent currie tie rod system

I thought those came like that?
Every one I've seen looks like that. :gag:

 

[cracker]

I crushed my exhaust and cat, added to my Calico door damage, added some some scratches to the rig here and there, and toasted a tire. Pretty damn awesome!

 

[Goatman]

why not drive flanges? do you unlock them for the high-speed stuff?

I'd much rather break a hub than a stub. I also unlock them for the high speed stuff, since under full axle droop my front driveline double carden joint bottoms out.

 

[David Taylor]

What happend to that, and when? Did you break an inner bead?

I have no idea what day it even happened on.

Yet more rocker damage and dented the last 1 1/2 foot of my rear driveshaft bad enough that it drove like a paint shaker, so I excersized my AAA+ membership and had it towed from Victorvill to Westminster which saved me so much that the AAA+ is paid for for the next 10 years. I called the Jeep yards and they all wanted $150 for a used longbed MJ driveshaft while driveline specialties re tubed and balanced mine and added 2 new ujoints for $170. Why are the AMC yards such a rip off? Thanks to all who worked so hard to put the event together, it was a blast.

I hope you got some .120 wall or at least .090 wall on the re-tube. I had enough rear driveshaft carnage with a shortbed shaft, I don't like even thinking about adding more length to that. I'm glad those days are over for me.

oh, and someone has to say it "go square or go home!"

I went square thanks to a rock on the trail and it wouldn't get me home I forgot to ask for heavy tube but I'm not supposed to pick it up until Wed so maybe I still have that option.

blew rear shock (on the dirt road home out of the lake bed)
bent and leaking rear diff cover
candy cane pin stripes on rear drive shaft (might have knocked it out of balance, felt a vibe on the way home)
totally bent rear shock mount

Figure all this damage was from the 1st time Jeeper I let handle my rig. He is hooked now and is looking for a XJ. Well worth the little bit of damage.

Were you on clawhammer? I found a freshly ripped wheel weight on the trail. 3 oz worth. I was thinking. "Someomes going to get a little vibe the next time they are on the fwy!"

:flipoff:

was probably mine, the tires and wheels I had down there I just got used a few weeks ago and had a TON of wheel weights on them. I didn't get a chance to tear 'em off and add airsoft pellets.

I'm glad you made it home ok. I didn't really feel great about our leaving you at the gas station, but it was effin late and I had a hard time keeping my eyes open on the drive home as it was. I forgot to mention I get a pretty hefty discount at OC driveline.. next time hit me up.

Don't worry about leaving me at the gas station, I didn't want everyone stuck there because I don't carry a spare rear driveshaft or a plug for the t case. Besides AAA was on the case. Thanks for the O.C. driveline offer too; I've been using drivetrain Industries due mostly to proximity, there right around the corner.

Someone needed a plugzit? I had one.

Thanks I might have asked for it had I known I needed one before leaving camp but the Vibes that allerted me to the damage wasn't obvious until I got on the highway and up to around 45 MPH. Where can I pick one up? The longbed MJ has a long enough rear shaft that the SYE is not needed.

Cool thanks; that's within driving distance.

Alabama?? That's a long drive.

Not to be confused with T&J.

Well, I have one of those plugs sitting in my garage. I'll give it to you at the next m&g. Your a long wheelbase, so you will probably stay on the slip yoke for some time. After I went SYE, I had intended to keep it in the jeep incase someone else needed it. Since I clearly have failed to do so, I might as well give it to someone who's very likely to need it again.

Thanks Cal. I don't think the truck will be moving until after the next M&G.
