Bent the tierod
dented the rear D60 diff cover
pealed the D60 diff cover
folded the passanger mirror on a tree, it does not fold.
broke Tom Woods DS and twisted the Double Cardian paft
spit a cap and broke the rear DS again
unseated a coil in the axle mount
lost a bumpstop, still floating around in the coils
some scratches and dints
I think that is all. Fairly light for me.

I had rear driveshaft issues until I added a traction bar, axle wrap was a killer.

I was thinking about axle wrap. General consensus is I need a limiting strap in the middle at the diff and to remove the shims pointing the pinion up so much. I'm thinking rear triangleated 4 link. I also need to look at a solution for pulling the front down. I unpacked all my gear including all the tools and parts and noticed the weight in my ass, spare parts and tools, was holding the rear below the height of the front. So I'm thinking I also need to loose all unnecessary tools from the jeep and keep them at camp.
 
no 4 link. still gonna have the driving under issue until you control it.

  • Upper & Lower Ball Joint
  • Outer Axle shaft & Joints
  • Lincoln Locker came unlocked!
  • (Note to self: More weld & Stronger Pin)
  • Cracked paint on rear hatch (Tree Saved Me)
  • Chiggered up Spouse
  • Chiggered up Niece
  • Ghost transformer: Big 42” rig to a Wine-Bag!
  • Lost a friend in a mud bog (FOUR TIMES LENNIE!)
  • Almost ran over Lil-Dave! (FOUR TIMES DAVE!)
  • Who is doing all that snoring?!!!
Yup, that'll just about do it...
:conceited
 
Guilty as charged!

I managed to add a few small beauty marks to tims paint, but remarkably, I didn't notice any dents.
Ripped exhaust about 95% of the way off.
Dented the floor with the muffler when I landed on it.
And grenaded a front Dana 30 Ring and pinion set.

So considering the way I was driving it, thats not too bad!
 
This is how we remove a ghetto-fab bump stop. Can you say Flex? :clap:

Talked to Tom Woods today. He will be shipping me new joints and new DC case.

Awesome! Did you have to send him the old parts or just some photos?

Neither. He said to not waste my money. I asked about photos, He said why are you lying? LOL! Kool guy pleasure to deal with. I need to regear. He thinks the reason it failed was because of the 4:10's. I asked about the 1350 jointed shaft. He said since it was an xj boubled it should be fine but if it happend again then maybe look into them.
 
Very impressive customer service.
 
Yes! :thumbup:
 
i broke my driver front ujoint...
bent my driver rear leaf spring at the front loop a little bit...
scratched up the beadlocks pretty good...
broke a snap on my soft top...

all in all... nothing too bad! i'm ready to do it again!!!
