That was a fun run, considering I only got 40 miles on a brand new NAPA cv axle, but that was a very fun trip. I was able to learn a coulpe things this weakend which was weld the dang rear end, get a muffler, and put and entire new frontend on. I just broke my 18th axle up there so its time to just replace the whole get up. But it was a very fun ride.

 

Scott Thank you for giving me and tami a ride through the trail there too.

I just broke my 18th axle

You know Jeff, Scott and I were talkin about your axle yesterday. If you continue to break the driver's side at the inboard knuckle, we were thinking somehow that joint is getting flexed too and far and putting a big angle on the joint and it breaks. This could be caused by a driver's side loose motor mount such that the engine and transaxle lift up on that side when a lot of torque is beaing applied to the rear drive shaft such as was the case when you were pulling on Scott's rig. Or maybe the front drivers side wheel is dropping down too far causing the same extreme angle. You may want to take a look at it before you start tearing the whole front end apart.
