The windshield was already cracked before this trip. Nick I'm glad to hear that you got home ok. Did the shaft breakage on the highway do any other damage to your Jeep? Brake lines/fuel lines?

Much to my surprise, No..I do have issues..Not sure what...Bad vibs and strange noises comming from the drivetrain above 66 mph after it spit the shaft out.I will start tearing it down this weekend.

Sweet thanks.

Sorry to hear about Gabe's phone.

Yeah we were driving home and it started sending email viruses. My phone kept beeping incoming messages from him. He was sitting next to me with the phone on the console. All his friends started calling him to see what was up. Kinda amusing.

I hope to get the videos of Lions den from Joe before the weekend is over.

Nick did you happen to hear from the guys in the Sami's who took videos.

The 4th video "Jim climbing the Waterfall" starts out with Brian saying:

"it's ok were cutting the top off anyway"

I didn't know you could tell the future Brian. At that point in the day I didn't think that It was actually going to happen that day...

you look away for a minute and we'll ensure you a much breezier ride home



Also jim's "evolving wheelbase" is pretty evident in the fourth video as well.....

Update on my carnage....

Guess it cracked the front carrier when the shaft snapped.The noise above 65 mph was the rear yoke,the dusk cover came loose after the driveshaft ejection.

After three weeks of repairs,I'm happy to say.....

I'm ready to wheel again.
