    yeah, I taught myself over the summer because we lost our welder on the baja team.

    Only thing is you need the welder haha.

    edit: I made Jim's links. As you can see I'm no pro, but they haven't broken yet lol.

    Sooo that's me trying to climb the waterfall in Glorieta again, and realizing I only have 3 wheel drive. X_X RF tires was not spinning at all. Checked hubs, checked CV axles, checked ARB compressor and air line, and everything looked good. Later along the trail, I thought I lost my tcase since no power was going to the front tires.... In after thought, I'm thinking I didn't have my locker switch on (since I didn't think it was working).....

    I have yet to drop the skid and get a closer look at it all, but with all this I mind, I'm guessing the jack shaft snapped, or maybe I wiped the inner splines on my right CV axle.... I'm thinking jack shaft, though. Which shouldn't be to bad to fix. :pray:

    Also, running the rest of that trail 3 wheel drive sucked! lol I pity you open diff guys.
