Twisted rear axle shaft

OK, and you need a turbo for what? Bust some more parts. Watched the video and you certainly wheel that think like it is unbreakable. Should have bought the ShortBus

I'd say you got the boys a bit excited right about here.

For a second, I thought it was going to roll. That is a sweet video.

Ok, thanks, I'll be sure and not do that.

I thought chromoly was supposed to be harder, and therefore it had less twist - this is why chomoly is more resistant to breakage, but has a shorter useful life because it can't flex at all to absorb the regular stresses of daily driving?

LOL - that was me! I thought Rick was gonna roll over me! I didn't even think about running...I just did.

From what I've seen people get in trouble in two places on Guardrail - when they back down too far and when they go too far left/driver. I saw Rick heading too far driver and wanted to get him stopped to pull cable...but he made it anyways!

They are less brittle and will not break as easily when twisted. More elasticity.

Here is some Jeep info for you

Hey, its not like he had a long drive home or anything, did someone say big brass balls?

I second Heather, isn't that where Dan twisted his?

I think Dan broke his on Slickrock.

That sounds like something I would say...

Yea, I'm gonna be hard pressed to blame that on the e-locker design

I had it wrong all these years, even though back in the day I had a bunch of moly axles .

The turbo is for on road use and when in low range it's mostly dormant. It's the guys running around with SCs that have things to worry about if they wheel like a man.

Rick you goofy bastard.......

 

[concretejungle]

i always say, just back up and dial it in!

 

[Arya Ebrahimi]

Damn, I think that's the first time I've ever heard the word "cognizant" in a wheeling scenario. That's a big word for rednecks lol!

Nice job!

I've wheeled with both Rick and Dan, fun times! I'm in this twisted club as well...

Landtank that is awesome.

Rich in our club is the only person I know that runs his 80 harder than you do.

and the body on his truck shows it.

You guys should make the trip to the Fall Crawl in October and wheel with us.

It would be a blast.

Thanks for the invite. Because my son is in school taking time for wheeling isn't high on his mother's priority list. We have negotiated a few days for another run down to Cullawhee if the dates change for the Pumpkin Pig run.

Hey Rick, you can borrow my spare stock axle shaft if you need to... not sure coming to get it would be cheap, though.
