Went wheelin last weeknd.
I was a climbin a 60' hill with a lip at the top, while pinned in 2nd. The front end popped up over the lip when it came down the force from me not lettin off the skinny peddle blew the whole u-joint section like a grenade. the bolts are still on my pinion flange with small pieces of the drive line. The u-joint and every thing that holds it was no where to be found. Thank God for winches or i would have been stuck in the bottom of a valley/creek where i was not supposed to be.
I figure it was a good break. i dont have to tear into my axle or any mumbo jumbo like that, as it all sounded good with the hubs locked in while drivin down the road.
Im sending the busted driveline into TG as it looks like poor metal forgery was to blame. hopin for a new one for free.

 

lets see some pictures!

 

I'll take a couple of the flange and driveline when i get home tonight.

 

This is a picture of part of a TG driveshaft...

Notice the thickness in the joint ears?

Its still holding up in my buddies truck
