Exactly why it's there!

Had a great time both days. Nice to meet Rob and Jesse and wheel some great conditions. Left the park and when I hit the main road heading south to I-20 I felt a vibration under my feet and in the steering wheel. Pulled over to inspect and it was the front drive shaft. The rubber boot at the T-case end ruptured and slung out all the grease. Thanks to some advice from @TravisMac I pulled the front drive shaft. Those little bolts at the TC are a pain in the ass! Got that started and looked back to see my rear was chewed up and twisted as well. The joints looked good so I decided to try going home all back roads which took an extra hour but it was a nice afternoon for a drive in the Jeep with the top down so it wasn't too bad. I had drive shafts on my list of upgrades I knew would need to happen soon but wasn't planning on this soon. Hoping maybe someone who went to tons has some they need to get rid of. I'm going to have to do a crossmember, TC skid, and gas tank skid too, mine are all beat to hell.
Anyway, made it home at 7 which was my target to begin with, glad we called it a day when we did, sucks it was due to getting @jesseshoots back to camp. That was a scary situation! Didn't get too many pictures, sent out all the videos via text.

Front DS damage:
Rear DS damage:
I'm about over my Synergy tie rod. It's strong as hell and takes a beating but every time I go wheeling it gets pushed out of position and I have to reset it.
Chris36l:
Sam, they sell something that will keep your tie rod from rocking back and forth like that, I'll try to find a link in the interwebs and send it over.
Had a blast yesterday, had my 4 year old along for her first ride. She had a blast, although not sure if it was playing in the dirt or wheeling. Either way, really enjoyed getting her out on the trails. Thanks to everyone for being so welcoming with her.
BTW, nice to finally meet you Jesse.

Next step may need to be trailering
It's a game changer....
