Okay had THE best time I have had on a wheelin trip yet!!! :biggthumpup: Confusedmokin: :biggthumpup:

Within the first 5 minutes I twisted my brand new "Tom's" driveshaft :banghead:

Then put my old old spare in and was good to go ... then "POW" the passenger rear axle shaft ... :crying:

Then my freind drove me back to Savannah to get the spare ... left about 10pm and returned 4am ... got it back together and wheeled the crap out of my "itty bitty" junk until 3am ... Then Sunday morn we did one more obstacle that pretty much finished up all trails at river Rock ... Confusedmokin: :rebel: Confusedmokin:

And I have a problem with my skinny pedal :hysterical: I really like it too much !!! :toothy12:

Last obstacle of the weekend BANG rear axle shaft ... this time the drivers side ... :banghead: Gonna need 31 spline stuff :biggthumpup:

So we pack up and get home around 3:30 Sunday and while pulling the Bronco off the trailer, I geuss that drivers side broken axle bound up an BAM another driveshaft :hysterical:

Okay so you got the Idea ... Confusedcratchhe:

Ouch ... got some body damage too. Looks like a great time with some great weather too.

How did your truck perform other than broken axle shafts and drive shafts?

Let me say that the Bronco and all your custom parts held up well to a true hardcore thrashing :biggthumpup:

The Bronco did some unbeleivable stuff :rubeyes:

Just found the "weak" links ... rear axles and driveshaft ... so my next project will be to get them stronger!!! :biggthumpup:
