got this in the wanted section as well,but alas,not as many of yas look there.

anyway,anyone got some broken shafts the want to give me for cheap or free+ shipping? :)

all i actually need is the part that bolts to the hub,so the rest of the shaft could be cut off for shipping purposes...

thanx-

You should be able to get some good ones from the wrecker for cheap. I got 2 14 bolt shafts for $10 each. Just a thought anyways.

try colorado K5 or other chevy boards, ask H8Monday or any other guys with a 14b rear

You know, I never thought've keeping mine for resale. Maybe now I should start hmm?

whats it worth to ya if i were to go pull one from pic n pull and chop the shaft and sent it to ya?
also u talking FF or SF??

i dunno,whats the pic n pull charge ya? i could go to a yard here,but dont want to pay a pic n pull price for shafts. im about to pick up a spare 14 bolt for cheap,but i want to keep its shafts for spare,since i run the same axle in my trail rig and my tow rig. :)

i dont mind given someone a few bucks for their time in cutting off a shaft and boxing it up for shipping,but obviously,a broken shaft is not worth anything for 99.5 % of the general public,so im not gonna pay top dollar for em.

ill try the k5 page,and ill also put a post on the chevy page. let me know if guys come across any broken shafts for me...

thanx for the responses...

thanx again,fellas...

PnP gets 25.00 for an axle

what for:question: :question: :question: :question: :question: :question:

He's probably making an Interocitor :flipoff2:

actually, i just want to make coverplates for the hubs. right now i have to flat tow it to the trails(would rather put it on a trailer,but it still beats drivin it there) and id like to be able to pull the axleshafts and tow it without the rear R&P,driveshaft spinning.

sure,i could get some metal,cut out a circle,ad drill some holes,but it be waaaaaay easier to just get some otherwise broken,useless shafts and cut of the shaft :flipoff2:

Damn guy! Just pull the 4 bolts on the rear driveshaft and pull the shaft apart.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: WTF are you thinging, 5 mins 4 bolts......

lol :laughing: man, some people make simple things really complicated.

if thats what your doing, take a peice of plate, trace the gasket that goes between the gasket and the hub. cut out,drill holes and be done:p

:rolleyes: jeesh. lets see,if i pull the driveshaft,which is what i do now,the ring and pinion are still gonna spin. if youll view the post closely,it also states "so the R&P wont spin"

also,for those of us that have on board air and impacts,it will take me less than 10 seconds per side to remove axle,replace plate. hmmm.20 seconds with an impact,or 5 minutes on the ground,on my back under a muddy jeep with a 1/2 inch wrench.WTF are YOU thinking :flipoff2: ok,ok,maybe youre one of the guys i always have to stop and help cause hes ventured into the woods with no tools,no spare parts,and your wheel has fallen off. :flipoff2: :rasta: so ill cut you some slack for not knowing any better...

brad,like i said,it would be waaaaaay easier to cut the flange off a broken shaft.much less cutting,grinding,and drilling :rolleyes: im all about not having to do as little work as possible.

sooooo,noe of you guys have broken 14 bolt axles,eh? i guess thats good. i wont have to worry so much bout carrying spares ;)

you better read the bb a little more, I'm the guy with more tools and spares helping people out on the trail......even a :clown: like you:flipoff2: unless you are flat towing more then 500 miles at a pop, the r&p were is nothing, it's tire wear I would worry about, so get a trailer:flipoff2: or maybe you are the guy I see on the trail with the bald ass hand me down tsl's I always have to stop and help cause hes ventured into the woods with no tread on his ride:rolleyes: :flipoff2: :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

well,i have 3 sets of spare tires,cause i keep finding 38" hawgs and gumbos at swap meets and used tire places for dirt cheap.
not too worried about tire wear. not actually too worried bout R&P wear,either. and yeah,i do want a trailer,but some of us gotta do stuff on a budget.

hmmm.i didnt accidentally step on someones ego,did i? ;) boy the smallest things set you guys off into flame war over here. not my fault you decided to give a smart ass answer after not really reading the post. :flipoff2: sorry,didnt realize you were the "guy with more tools and spares".my humblest apologies. if you want to we can compare lists of spares and tools carried. you go first :flipoff2:

i am happy to play nice till someone give me some smart ass comments when i didnt even ask for opinons :flipoff2:

i can keep the smart ass replies goin as long as you can,or we can play nice and maybe learn somethin from one another,its up to you.

He does make a good point about laying in the mud and having to disconnect a shaft. I'd hate to do that (So I have a trailer :D)

What's mud? And I don't think I really gave a smartass reply, I mean if they guy knew me a month ago, he would see what a real smartass reply was:eek: You didn't step on my ego, you were just upset I didn't answer you with an "I have your part" but with my reply so you insulted me, with the reply you gave....if it upsets you to get what you call a smartass reply, why is it you come right back with a worse reply? If you don't like it, why do you dish it out? Sounds like you know what you want, try being specific ......because we don't know the reasoning so we will make sugestions based on what you had wrote. If you had come in here with..."I need to make some block offs cause I flat tow, and I don't wasnt the r&p turing, and pulling the driveshaft is not an option because of mud, and tire wear is not an issue, I have OBA so I can swap this out in a little over 1 min per pair, so all I need is some broken axles for flanges" I would never have said a word. I have been on this bb 5.5 years, and you won't get alloit of help being a hipacrate with that attitude, now I will play nice, cause I see you won't:p :p :p and to answer your question with the answer you want, no I don't have any......but if it were me, I would make some out of plywood or plastic, easy to cut and drill and they will keep the oil in, or find a plastic pipe cap they use for shipping to plug the hole, or perhaps go toi the hardware store and see if you can find a big rubber plug or pvc pipe fitting or something like that.

well,i kinda think "damn,guy WTF are you thinking" is a fairly smartass reply. if you had said " hey,why dontcha just rmove the drivesahft?" my reponse would have been much different. i dont feel i dished it out unprovoked.and it honestly had nothing to do with you not having my part. its really not a big deal,if i have too,ill eventually make em.

i thot my initial question was plenty specific enuff. "anyone got broken 14 bolt FF axleshafts" is pretty straight forward. if you want the honest truth,the reason i didnt elaboratein the first post is because of how critical you guys are(not you specifically,just the atmosphere here in general) and i didnt really care to hear the "why are you doing that" responses.

at any rate,i kind of wanted the blockoff plates to be metal,but plastic is maybe not such a terrible idea. do you really think it would hold the oil in the hub?plywood i dont think is such a good option,but plastic i would consider.hmmm.

LOL i wish i lived somewhere id have to ask what mud was. here in ohio/ky/in thats about all we have :)

just to prove i can play nice,heres my list of spare stuff:
sockets and wrenches,up to 1 1/8" as well as specialty sockets for transfer case and pinion nuts,wheelbearing nuts,the usual screwdrivers,hammer,allen wrneches,etc.etc,impact gun,cut off wheel,die grinder,air hammer,propane and sloder for radiators,lg clamps(for welding stuff) and some arc welding rods jsut in case my friends on board mig welder breaks or runs out of gas.

parts include:heim joints(for steering) extra steering linkage ,pitman arm,kuckles,hubs,lockouts,drive flanges(just in case i break my spare lockouts ;) ) 2 sets of front axleshafts,1 set of rear axlesahfts,driveshafts,yokes for axles and trnasfer case,tune up stuff like plugs ad lpugwires,ig module,distributor,starter,alternator,electric fan,full size spare.

also small stuff like nuts,bolts,clamps,tire plugs,belts,hoses,electrical repair stuff(wire,connectors,switches) and also some shain,and pieces of scrap metal(for welding),baling wire,zip ties,duct tape,silicone

cant forget the usual recovery equipment,winching gloves,pulley,tow straps,a short and long piece of chain with hooks,highlift jcak,shovel.

ill also very soon be hookig up my nerf bars to hold water that will be pressurized by the OBA for the purposes of spraying mud out of radiators,alternators,and cleaing the tire/rim if someone peels a tire off the bead.

theres prolly more ifn i think about it for a minute.

i should mention that alot of this spare stuff lives in the tow rig,since we generally wheel where its easy yo get back to camp and grab stuff. lately im on this kick fo trying to make my rig lighter,so i try and keep only the bare minimum with me.

ok your turn :) have you got anything with you i havent thot of,that would be good to add?

Ok I was a smartass, I apolagize[sp] I was not as big an ASS as I was in the past:flipoff2: Yes this BB is too full of ass's, I am trying not to be one of them.......That is a much bigger list, I don't break that hard, and drive a light sammy so I couldn't even haul all that stuff if I wanted:eek: untill you said most in the tow rig, I thought "he must wheel a grayhound":eek: :eek: lol....I'm sure plastic will work..just thought of this, cut a round out of a tire sidewall, it will seal up great, easy to cut and drill, bam! you are golden;) fast and easy. Or on 2nd thought, use a flat mudflap for the rubber, I bought 2 2'x3' trucker flapps at like $6 each to keep, "da man" away.

You do know that this is the Pirate bulletin board right? :flipoff2: You really should be expecting at least one smartass reply per thread. Come on now, get that skin to thicken up a bit. ;)

You probably wouldn't break as much if you didn't carry all that sh!t :eek: :D :flipoff2:

ok,good point ;) ill hafta agree with that :flipoff2:

seabass,great idea on the mudflap,ill check into that.

i do realize ive possibly built a pretty heavy rig. ive added lotsa weight in bumpers,nerfbars,rollcage,and prolly close to 150 pounds of tow truck pto winch and mounting plate in the bed ritght above the rear axle.plus ,what,maybe 300 pounds of 14 bolt over a rear 44? ive got a dana 70 for the front when i break all my spare 44 parts. when i do break it,i usually break it pretty good. my most "creative" breakage to date was a front stock leaf spring. we welded it back together and i wheeled the rest of the weekend on it :smokin:

ive recently cut down the spare stuff i actually carry in the jeep to 2 large and 5 small ammo boxes,lost the back seat,replaced the front seats with plastic summit seats. over the winter i plan to cut the sides off from the cab back,and fabricate new(from thin sheetmetal),along with cutting the rear of the frame to the rear spring mounts and moving the rear bumper up to increase departure angles and lose some weight.

bigdude,most of it is in the tow rig,i keep the stuff i carry with me to a bare minimum. the above list is for a weekend 75 miles from home,i dont stuff that much into the tow rig if im going local.also,i didnt say i broke it all the time :flipoff2: its just when i do,i usually do it right ;) i have the kind of luck that i can bring propane and solder 10 times and not need it,but if i forget it on the 11th,ill poke a hole in the radiator. consider it preventative maintenance :p
