So i woke up to a Borken Jeep this morning as well.
Soon as I pulled out of the drive way, I hear a loud bang. Then I start getting a poping noise as I was rolling to a stop. I turned around and put it back in the driveway. At quick glance it appears that the yoke side of the turdy 5 was soaked in gear lube. I hope that is the problem. I am saving my pennies right now. I took the commander to work. So I will see more when I get home.

Time for the 8.8 Matt

Nope. I have D44 laying in the garage.

The bad thing is I wasnt going to start on this for another week or so. I need some gears for it. I was waiting for some tax money. I guess I will have to roll on some 30s.

Forgot about Josh's removal. {toast}

I just hope the rear is all I find broken. I not sure what would have broken, the axles are not.
-
Man, sorry to hear that. You have not been so lucky on that 35. Atleast you have the 44 ready!
-
I know what you mean. I am going to leave work soon and get started on it. I hope I have better luck with the 44.

See, there was a reason that you wanted to get rid of that D(amn)35!

Yes, and 35's on a 35 is just borrowed time.

I had forgotten about my tax money for a minute. Very excite! (Borat voice)
Sorry about the headaches, but at least you get that axle out of there. :)

Me and Daniel got the axle swapped. I need to go out there and torque everything. But from the trip around the block, I think I have some bad vibes, so I will probably be adjusting the rear uppers.

I hope. No energy yesterday to adjust the uppers but I did torque everything. It has a very bad vibe starting around 25mph. I do know the driveshaft was a tighter fit, when putting it back in. My driveline angles look good though. So I may just add about 1/4" of length to all 4 arms. Any other ideas?
I am also in desperate need of some gears. Top speed went from about 75 down to 55.

55?? That's way too fast. Take it easy speed racer. Um..side note, when is a good day for some wheel stud swapping? Possibly Saturday?

What ya doin tonight?

Probably nothing. Wanna try? I got to thinking about it last night after I'd posted that if everything goes according to plan, you'll have a baby girl this weekend. And clearly, Saturday wouldn't work. She went Tuesday right? What's the word, bird?
-
Not much has changed, still due any day now.
-
Well good, if you wanna try this evening, we will.

Well good, if you wanna try this evening, we will.
And it will happen tonight. Always when you you have plans. ;)

Probably. Right in the middle of changing a wheel stud, we'll hear "MATT!!!!! WE NEED TO GO!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!" Then I'll have to play wheelman, I hope.

Let's just wait until Adam tries to drive it back and then it takes a dump right in the middle of 211. I'd laugh...pretty hard.
