Too much :beer: and not enough watching out for this.....

I witnessed one of the broken parts in the box. I was up on the rock videotaping.
It sound like this…vrrrm….dink….”dam it!” It looked like a driver’s side u-joint, but I was 50 feet away.
Nice meeting Keith.
See you in October for the clean up.

My list of parts is much less:
Back up light, jerry can squished, and bent tire rack
Funny how all that stuff is in the back of the Jeep. :D

Nope :(

Geez Kieth, Seeing carnage like that ALMOST makes me want to give you my new D60 front


ALMOST:flipoff2: Think 1480:D

Saw that spot in the box last Wednesday when the Stompers and I were up there. We all took a pass! Camped right there for the night, and rode out fine with my 44's on my YJ. Looks like I took the best way out with no breakage! John E broke both rear axles in his YJ, POS Dana 35 with stock axles! That will teach him. Check out the www.sierrastompers.org site (run pics-Rubicon Sept 2002) to see our fix to get him out to loon.

Are you going to sel the 4.0 head to me or what? Let me know!

Doug

:D

I see in one of the carnage parts pics you have a stub of splines that looks just like the one I have from snapping a Dana 44 inner off flush with the carrier, man what a bitch to get out. Anyway, if you didn't throw it away yet and don't want it, I'll stick a stamp on a Coor's Light and send it to you for it. I drilled and tapped mine to make a sweet t-case shifter knob but now I'm going twin stick and don't feel like waiting for another snappy snap or cutting a broken one.

"Any chance i could get a copy??? "

Well it is only about 5 seconds long. I'll bring a copy to the clean up and if I see you, you can have it.

Robert....You would be My very bestest friend :p

NevadaYJ, I think I am gonna be using it at least through the winter. Sorry bud.

4Bangler...I have a ton of those splines....at least 3 or 4 of them

MY...Oh Dont bother then ;)

Funny how those things break right at that little necked down part right before the splines, seems like Spicer almost wanted them to break there, sure wish they would have put that neck down out at the joint end if they felt they had to have it, would make extraction much easier. Mine looked like it had been cut with a saw, I actually suspected some of my friends of sabotage, but then I realised they are not that ambitious. I started locking my garage anyway. E-mail me if you want to part with one of those trophies, I'll send you a check for the shipping and a cold one.

Just PM me your addy. You want a 19 spline outer one or a 30 spline inner :laughing: No worries on shipping costs, cant be more than a buck or so.

Yeah a good time had by all. I only lost a 297. But after this weekend and all of Keith's carnage, my wife gave me the go ahead to find a 60. I'm dialed. :flipoff2:

Keith,

You really going to unload the 44's??

I am looking for a winter project for my TJ.

I might. It would jsut be the front though, I have a 60 rear. Its a 79 hi pinion drivers side.....all fresh inside, 4.10's and a lockrite. If I sell itll be in a month or so, so check with me then :beer:

Hey Keith I have 2 RC60's at my house:D

Got any SC60's? I'm looking for one too. :D

Don't put a 60 in the front! They are heavy, have less ground clearance, and oh yeah cause death wobble too, haven't you heard? :eek:
Nice carnage.

Sure if we cut the ends off the RC60 and put them on a SC60 rear and make it into a front. I don't plan on doing that but it is possible if I have any rears with 3.125" tubes.

Hahahahaha... That sounds like alot of work for what I'm look'n for. Dont need anything fancy. Just a good ol 8 lug Chebby 60 would do. :D

Oh, guess I shoulda mentioned I'm passenger side. :D

I knew what you were after. Just an Idea.

You broke the golden rule. never paint over the pink.
Your lucky you only broke 4 shafts.

The pink will be avenged.

Thats hilarious Keith you got enough money for that many spares its time to step up to the plate and upgrade. Sounds like you were getting it awn and breaking it all over.:flipoff2: But the real question is did you have fun by the end of the day?

with all that experience, you might just be as fast as me at changing 44 shafts :flipoff2:
definately had a good time up there with all the action. thanks to loppy for the patience with that stuborn wheel bearing too.:beer:

Hay keith, how did your drivelines work out.:flipoff2:

from a bystander's view how did that thing work? aside from DRIVER ERROR :D

Every pic is from 1" from the rig so I can't really tell how it's doing. Keith says it worked but I dunno cause he was :beer: :D

The reason I want to know is because I have some things in mind I would have liked to do differently to it.....and it's now a SILLYFAB child so I gotta watch my kids :D (that's right keith I own it and U now :D)

Phil.....:flipoff2: It works, a few things I would do different too but winter is comin and changes can be made ;)

John....about the only things I DIDN'T break ;) Thanks bruddah

Fullsize....definite thanks to Lop for that one..I thought we were dead in the water there!

Brandon.....HELL YEAH WE HAD FUN!!!!!!!!

Another cool shot.

GREAT pics Keith!!!
