So here is what happened on sunday. I left my shop around 11am after doing a few things to the jeep to make sure it was road and trail ready. The plan was to meet my friend at his house in Durham and then head out to our wheeling destination. I got to his house no problem and the jeep felt really great on the road, it drives really nice! We left my buddys house and got about 3 miles doing 50-55mph, and suddenly there was a screech noise, followed by some drivehafts vibes, followed by some burning gear oil and loud clunking. I pulled over, locked the hubs, and put it in front wheel high and drove back to my house which was about 2 miles away. Got home and took it apart to find this:



It looks like the bearing headed up and welded to the outer race, then the inner race spun on the shaft and heated yp the shaft and twisted it off... why? Maybe a bad bearing, I don't know. There was definately plenty of oil in it, everything was covered!

Not a terrible thing, I was planning on buying the upgraded output anyway, but I missed out on wheeling it. Hopefully in a week or so I will have it going again.

Here is what I ordered from Wild Horses 4x4. It is a 1 3/8 32 spline shaft, with a new housing that uses a Jeep style speedometer drive.
