I took zero pics. Pretty lame.
I only took a few, Tony. It was hotter than a 2 dollar pistol out there. To heck with takin photos when you're just thankful for breathin' & maybe a cold drink fittin' in while wheelin...
the park & conditions were fantastic.I am sorry I did not get more pics, gang; Cadence wasn't feelin hot and I was hot and broke some silly crap early on Friday.
I did get one or two.
I got one ( deservedly) proud new rig owner:
(https://i.imgur.com/LjJmfR6.jpg)
a boring photo of the laughable lmao comparison between my and Marks new beast:
(https://i.imgur.com/iMh9xaM.jpg)
...and, while mulling over the fact that I really want some larger housings I zipped-off this quick camp pan of the other dudes, a little before you goty there....
Post by: j3ff3ry_j33p on May 27, 2019, 03:00:04 PM
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. (https://i.imgur.com/yxvMdny.jpg?2)
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. [no]
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.
(https://i.imgur.com/Qsoce3T.png)
...the force of hit bent the thing over like a book-ear about an inch:
(https://i.imgur.com/4Xr96CF.png)
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.
(https://i.imgur.com/dS0nBtS.png)
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:
(https://i.imgur.com/dhWbtiB.png)
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.
thank you to all you guys ; it was so fun.
@BlueJew you are awesome for makin the food runs.

I hope it's the RCV since that's the cheap fix, but I don't see how you can bend the axle shaft without bending/breaking the hell out of something else (tube, housing, ball joints, knuckle, hub, etc). Even if you messed up one of those other parts, I think the axle shaft joint would give a bunch.

Yep
I did something very similar on a night run at Harlan about 5 years ago. Bent the short side of my 44.

Agreed. Does not sound like the RCV but rather the housing. Luckily d30 housings (and complete axles) are cheap, but also the right time to consider d44/60 or a built TJ lol

It should be the housing( ...strange since , on gravel I see the shaft bind and that drag engages TorqLocker momentarily...it sure feels like bent axkeshaft but this video sure doesn't look like it ...)

When Steve made it most of the way there a low tree limb over the top that would have stopped anyone. Plus it was a lot wetter then.
Thats not what stopped him though.....
