had to go before the crowds

No idea what I did to make the pictures not show in the last post. Anyway, made one last stop on the way home to check out a big tree, sadly the jeep was too big to fit through.

Time to contribute to the destinations thread. We didn't anticipate picture logging every single thing so the pictures are a bit scattered, I apologize. Gotta love California, when a fall storm rolls into the foothills you can escape the rain by heading to the cost. A couple months ago we set...

good question, I always wondered about those too. I have one or two in my line. I pulled out a full size bronco with the kink right in the middle of the line and it didnt seem to make a difference. For peace of mind though its on my to replace list.

stick a wire brush in the drill, sand off the rust, prime and paint.

Interesting in didn't know that could happen. Its just a coil over shaft so I'll try to have a new one shipped before the weekend

There is a small chunk or maybe welding splatter on the shaft. Its too hard to tell if its raised or recessed. It keeps tearing my the seals and causing oil to drain out. Company litature said repair damage shafts before rebuilding, so I assume some things are repairable? Just wondered if...

I heard coilover shafts can be repairable to an extent....what do you think, anyone get something like this repaired?

Headed to florida for a week, I have been all over the east side but not the west side. Anyone know of fun places off the beaten path the explore/see within 2 hours of Sarasota other then the beach? edit: wont have jeep, so thats why its posted up in the pub

rockwells. rockwells powered by a gas v6, just do it! hahah dont do it.

tried to replicate the noise with front axle off the ground no luck. locked it and had one tire touching to give it some resistance while i rotated the other and nothing. took the warn locking hub out, looked fine no shavings, operated correctly. back to the drawing board

Thats good thinking! I dont have tone rings tho, no abs this is on a rockjock axle ford 9" with d44 outers

I dont know if i can replicate it with tires off as it still only does it under load. I was able to drive up and down two hills with no noises until i got to the third hill. Went about 35mph on flat then turned the corner hit the hill and bam. At faster speeds it sounds the same, when walking...

new cv yoke is in and fixed that problem eliminating some of the drive line noise. unfortunately now that the drive shaft didnt make noise I could hear loud and clear the other half of the problem. The jeep has been sitting all winter so I was thinking CTM u joints needed greasing but after...

I dont knos what is typical but I'm at 40 go 50k miles on this shaft not a whole lot but its only use has been pretty tough rock crawling on a heavy heavy wj
