You put it there. I wonder. Does that count enough for a warrenty? Just the people i want to deal with but hey... they did say that they have a life time warrenty

 

Was all that work to get your ass out of that worth it though...

 

wrongo, i was on the passenger side.

And my maxtrax was missing a little bit more... but if its broken, its broken.

 

But will they say that...

 

In the end, I was right, many were wrong. But that's what happens when people make fun of the little guy, they get shown up. haha

But had I known it was nothing but snow drifts after that for the coming miles... we wouldn't have tried. Same with the first mess where you turned 2wd, which got almost everyone stuck for much longer. But we know now.

 

Thats the next test to see how they stack up against maxtrax brah. Warranty isnt anything if they wont honor it.

 

It is windy as all hell! I had my window cracked and it woke me up howling. Pine trees swaying like palm trees in a hurricane. Now there's stuff getting tossed around on the patios including some sort of sheet metal i keep hearing. Hopefully not the new roof!

 

mornin'

 

mornin! the pics and stories make me semi-glad i slept through my alarm and woke up at 1230

How'd the axle shaft happen?! glad you guys had some fun

 

How did it break!?! It was 37 years old. It was time to go! Chromoly shafts time!!

 

Going chromoly. You might as well get spare gears too.

 

High pinion is a little stronger then low in the front and the ears on the shaft axtually pealed off so we are righting that one off as a bad shaft.

But i know a guy so it would not be stupid to grab some spares.

 

Nice work, all breaking shit means is it's time to upgrade

 

Exactly. I was not allowed to buy new shafts when i did the build because dad though that the stock ones would be just fine. But now its time to upgrade.

 

you should prob just sell me your truck for super cheap and start a new build...i don't know if it'll ever bounce back from that shaft breaking..

 

You think? You are probably right. I may have to put a new axle seal in and would be horrible... damn

 

I ran Warn shafts in my D44 with the 37's, locked and still broke stub shafts (at the splines) occasionally.
Stick with Spicer joints and they should hold up. The Warn shafts have more material around the ears as well, that seems to be fairly important.

 

Wooo, hold up. It was broke way before Barley drove my truck into the bank. However, it may of been me who put said track into place but all I remember is the Dam WIND now.

 

Anyone else concerned for the well being of @2016spicytaco

He hasn't posted since he went to play on the roof installing Christmas lights has he?

Maybe they handed him a blow up Christmas camel and he lost his shit while on the ladder.

 

Why did you capitalize every word?

Sounds like when you guys told me to get stuck so I could try out crawl control...even though I said it wouldn't work.
