We it let loose at the Hammer's durring Frostoberfest. After pulling it and looking at the welds, I surprised it lasted this long 0% penetration and if you look hard enough you'll see that the puddle did not even touch all the way around the shaft (shiny vs. rust) :rolleyes: I think my 7 yr old could have welded better than that :rolleyes: :shaking: :rolleyes:


I must be a wuss driver cuz I have have 3 Hammer trips and two Rubicon trips (both through the little sluice) :flipoff2:

:D I kept trying to focus the pics by moving further away from the monitor :laughing:

well it works with newspapers.

whoa. only us old dudes know of Ansel Adams. you'll confuse the youngins :D

I don't think 30 is old :confused: :flipoff2:

I don't think 30 is old :confused: :flipoff2:

I'm not much older than you Bill, and I know who Ansel Adams is. It's all downhill after 30 ya know...

Sorry to hear about the shaft failure, but didn't you get a :smokin: deal on that shaft anyway :confused:

:flipoff2:

Mine is still holding together so I must be a bigger wus :D scwafish broke his on the Con in the same manner as yours, but it was a "good thing". He came down HARD on his front ds on a rock and the bad weld just let go. If it had been put together right, he would have had a right-angle driven shaft :eek: As it was, someone with an on-board welder and grinder put it back together and he was off and running.

Hope yours didn't ruin your trip.

Exactly how my AZ-Drivelines junk broke. What a joke huh?

Hmm.. High Angle rear, Concorde Drive Line Service front.

Both had the crap kicked out of them, still no problems. Oh, yea they are both Toy CV base shafts.

True, and no it didn't ruin it. It broke AFTER we turned around on outer limits, one of the rigs was not making it. I think I would have been rig number 2 if I would have kept going :eek: :eek:

Late 1900's, early 20th century photographer, took lots of west coast wilderness pictures; mostly in black & white.

Search on Google, and you'll find way more than you want to know..

Yea, but I'm suprised any of the old folks can even remember that..

They say memory is the second thing to go.. I can't remember what the first was anymore..

I thought it was the 1st?

me: "don't puss out and break that out, gimmie yer strap and I'll yank yer ass backwards."
bill: "I don't think that'll work but ok."

Yo Bill,
I have run a AZ Driveline in the rear for the past 4 years, its the best piece of shit driveshaft that I've ever run. My condolences.
Chanceman. :smokin:

I had a front AZ shaft bend under the slight pressure of crawling out of a muddy rut, pissed me off.
