hey, the splines might be fine, but make sure the output shaft is not bent. i fubard a driveshaft like that before and the output shaft looked fine.... fixed her up and drove down the road and vibrated my jaw apart.

the output shaft was slightly bent

Got all the lights working in the jeep so I took it over to the shop I work at to do the oil pan gasket


Got the pan resealed and back up to find a XXXXing pin hole in the side of the pan near the top that had a steady drip... I cleaned it and quick steeled it due to having no desire to changing the pan. Seemed good but now its XXXXing leaking from the front right corner.. So Pissed! Its going to need a motor soon anyway so its going to keep leaking...


Drove all over the place in the jeep yesterday too it feels good to be back in a jeep!

Ok so it seems as if my unirail is begining to crack by my track bar bracket... Thinking of making a brace that goes to another bracket opposite of mine so its still removable.

Well it was an eventful weekend for me to say the least...

It all started friday morning with a little wheeling down at Rausch for Trailfest

First trail of the Day trail 5 hillclimb where i was denied by the hill on both lines due to zero traction with my spanked Iroks... So my freind Dom gave it a try in his TJ which ended with this!


thankfully he was ok and we were able to roll it back over top the fluids off and keep wheelin!


Ended up heading home from rausch early due to hurricane irene. Got home saturday about 1am.

After the storm cleared I got a phone call saying a tree fell on the jeep

well it took the hit well!


absolutely nothing happened to it! Decided to take the jeep for a rip through some local woods and apparently it was too hard of a rip.

Managed to break a bumpstop hammereing through some whoops at about 45 allowing the trackbar to hit the oil pan which a rod then decided to punch through dropping all my oil and and i also broke a trans line at the same time... So basically i ran the jeep to the street as fast as possible and probably killed the motor and trans in one shot... Ended my Sunday with this
followed by alot of beer and wings.

Im gunna take this thing off the road and stick it in the garage untill I find an entire H.O drivetrain to throw in this winter. Going to try to get rid of all the stupid issues I had with it so it will be mint turn key for next season!
