jbain Posted March 17, 2014 Author Posted March 17, 2014 Spent Friday and Saturday in IVY and had a great time, the weather was excellent ...... On Friday I came down hard on a rock ledge and took out the rear drive shaft..... after making a new one Friday night I was back for more on Saturday. However on the last trail of the day I broke a long side u-joint but I keep unit bearing/axle replacements so I had it back and running in about 15 minutes. Here are a few pics.....
SW86 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Nice! Yeah I often worry about my rear shaft. It gets spun on more $#!& than you'd believe. I've got a spare though ;)
