Oh, "Carnage"
the little D30 , (
yes, @clark123456 , what's tougher than a trussed D30? ) is either bent or the driver RCV is bent
( I think that is what it is ; if you look at this you can almost see the difference);
fwiw, I can get almost my whole pinky in housing under orange RCV sleevecupthing.
There is no space up top on that side.
The Pssgr side is evenly spaced all the way around & I cannot get my pinky into housing on that side under the axleshaft.
I am pulling apart to see; I sure hope the thing didnt get so jammed I cannot get it out of carrier or anything weird.
I can get the RCV repalced free. Then I can sell this crap housing & get some real housings.
the force of my stupidity -
did I mention I hit a freakin wall on a little scenic run up to top of the pavilion area with Mark right after gettin there and that is when this ocured? FML - made me irritated all weekend.

I found that the force of hitting the vine-covered
( it was really not maintained at all out there this year. Joyce and Bill are gettin on in years and if it had been cut back I would have known, but whtever; i h8 xcuses) ... I swear no rock was visible , just moss, on what looked to be a smooth way to avoid a mud hole.
Turned-out to be a rock wall covered in soft vines n moss.
I hit it at about 15mph.
The gripe is that my jeep
should accept that nominal of an impact & it didnt.
energy transferred to weakest parts = the 6 yr old , less that fully surround welded-on Poly Perf SS bracket on face of a Artec TB bracket.
...the force of hit bent the thing over like a book-ear about an inch:
I rode around all Friday like that afte just shifting over the clevis which affixes the ram to the trackbar and rotating the ram body up a little. It weaked to the point of almost falling off- we were super lucky we did not have to pull me off the trail coming back from the boatramp-waterfall obstacle. IU was about to break-off. I thought I was done but
@TravisMac came thru with the tools and
@06ljrubby the grade-8 bolt to pull the box back together and allow me to wheel until We had to split on Sat.
I hyper extended Bilstein 5160 and musta oblonged er elongated the sleeve in the axle-side bushing?
I know the leak is from up around the braided line as tho it wuz crimped or maybe twisted by force? Maybe piston.
the only other thing besides normal skid or wheel carnage would be I grinded the collar off the yoke on my rear DS. I slid the collar back down onto the yoke
had pushed zerk in and pointed it backards:
It was , again, great conditions if a bit hot. I love the park. I do not love mine being th only stupidly carnaged vehcle.
I am nearly at point
@tcdawg got to with the JKU.
