Hope everyone in Sunflower and Lefore Counties are doing okay. Awful thing that occurred.
What happened?
Bill's 4:1 AA gear set in his mini doubler couldn't stand up to the power of that Volvo EFI I6 (or it may have been the bolts backing off letting the case halves split

Safety third! That's Joel Moranton holding the gear set as we got "creative" on a field repair to get the truck rolling again. Grinding the teeth off the low gear side allowed us to assemble the case with the correct 30 spline input but with a H-N-N shift capability. That was enough (barely) to get the truck to Rubicon Springs where we met up with Marlin who carried in a new 4.7:1 gear set.
Did I mention what a great time I had with these folks at Rubithon? Can't wait to go again!

F'ing awesome! I want to go with ya'll next time.
Another Bossman and Joel craft time...this one is my driveshaft.
BMF'd to the max!
We don't need no stinking gloves...
Other than self clearancing the muffler a bit the repair held up just fine. Full disclosure: Bill did most of the welding. I'm new to the two battery welding thing and wasn't confident in my weld quality.

DANG! That Ryobi One+ welder looks like it works GREAT!
Hopefully you took it to the driveshaft shop like that and asked them to balance it 
When in September and is that the same welder that I used in Clayton to weld your ujoint caps on that some dumbass broke when they spotted you into a rock?
Trying to work out a trip for the Marlin Crawler Roundup mid-Sept.
No, that was Bill's new stick welder he put together. I had the ready-welder but we wanted to try the new set up. And at least I couldn't blame this one on you @Fireman.
