I did this for a D44, pretty sure they are the same 26-spline pinion yokes

More pics from Yankee Hill
Tightening up the chains on the red XJ. He was borrowing 1 pair of my 35" tires chains for his 33's so there was some excess chain we had overlapped and it worked its way out. No damage was done, just had to lay back in the snow to re-secure it.
Tried tugging Lorenzo up another hill but this one was too steep for me to get any traction with the weight of his rig hooked to mine.
So out came the winch to try to tug us both up the hill. We were hoping that once we got moving the Jeeps could power up, but the winch was doing all of the work so we had to nix that idea. We instead backed down to the base of the hill and put my other set of chains on the rear tires of his rig. Now with both of the open/open rigs sporting chains on the rear and mine being locked front/limited slip rear we had no more issues getting up hills.
By the time we got towards the top of Yankee Hill my kid had fallen asleep.

Its getting harder every year with these asinine seasonal closures. I can understand closing the trails for a bit in the spring so the run-off can dissipate before people start mobbing through, but in the winter either the snow will close it or there is no harm to be done running it. It sucks. We ran Seven Mile yesterday and there wasn't much snow. Kelly Flats and another nearby trail were gated, so was Moody/Crystal down by Masonville and there was almost no snow there.
