I'm debating on this pretty heavily.  Worst case scenario, I might have to stop and pull my driveshaft and my CV axles out and get tugged back out of the place...but I love me some Aetna and would like to go again.
why? 1 or all of the above broken?

I think my CV axles are going out, they're popping and all that good crap pretty bad lately.  And being broke has kept me from buying a replacement.  My driveshaft constantly spins, whether I'm in 4WD or not, so if one breaks, I'll just have to pull it and the driveshaft to keep it from spinning the other one... I guess.  Stupid IFS...

Why would he do that? he would still have to upgrade axles and it would be a down grade in vehicle quality... {nln}

I'm just stirring the pot. That red truck I posted had to have a new engine at 85,000 mi due to a fault head gasket design with the ford 4.2L.

I'm gonna try to make this ride, but it's not looking good for me, I was just told that I have to leave this weekend to go to Maine for work for atleast two weeks, possibly four. that means I'm missing RR, WFTW, and possibly this ride as well if I don't make it back in time...
