Had a good time as usual. Thanks to Team Turtle for organizing the event. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Something did pop in my front end, appears to be in the diff. 4wd still works, it just makes cool noises every once in a while. I'll have to take it apart to find out for sure. I kept running the trails anyways in 2wd, made it through everything without a strap.

Yeah Jordan, my rodeo is a bit wider in the rear now. Not sure whats next, I've got a few projects on the list.

I only got a few pics, my co-pilot was not real interested in doubling as cameraman.

The hitch on my bumper is about 1/4" from touching the ground. Drove up this in 2wd, good traction there.

what's with the bolts? are they just not up to the stress you all put them under; i mean are they not designed to actually take offroad stress, or is it that the ones installed are inferior quality? or?

is it something we ought to be aware of and 'upgrade'?


This is a common problem for Wranglers. It has to do with the bolts being too weak, the u-joint straps being a bad design, and with the rear driveshaft so short it produces really bad angles when the pinion angle is not corrected.
