You obviously haven't wheeled with my jeep club. We like to keep up a pretty quick pace. They all call me lead foot *****. I always carry spare axles, driveshafts and u joints, but I'm pretty good at taking my foot off the gas just before I break so I rarely need to use em.

 

Ya I'll need to see some ID... What tcase is your driveshaft for?

 

Come to think of it, for a 231

 

Bill is a freakin rocket on the trails.... Only wheeled with him twice (once shotty with buck) and he was always out of sight first

 

Fancy that, guess I'll owe you a drink.

 

Lol. I hate wheeling in groups cause I feel like its Friday on I5 at 5:30!

Let me ammend that statement, I USUALLY dislike wheeling in groups. Im paranoid or something cause I feel plotting going on somewhere...

 

Im down just don't tell 911 lol

 

dont you turn 21 on Nov 6th?

 

also i have been runnin stock driveshafts (stock front, and a grand cherokee rear, converted to u-joint style connection) with a spare, and never have broken a shaft. now i have shattered a few u-joints, but i carry a trial vice and spare u-joints, just incase. i think you are more likely to break one of the dana 30 shafts, mainly the short drivers side shaft, then the front driveshaft. i am pretty sure the tilted wheelin crew each carry a spare shaft, and i carry a spare for each side.

 

No.... 20

 

Wade, the group of guys going on this run are a really smart but, fun bunch. We crawl the trails for the most part but, on the easy parts we tend to go a little faster to keep it fun....and we play around in the mud, on the rocks and the rock pits in between trails. Nobody gets hurt and the carnage is kept to a minimum. The best part is that they have all built their own Jeeps. There is a wealth of knowledge and a wealth of spare XJ parts that so far I've seen everybody is always willing to share. I personally carry a spare set of shafts with hubs attached for the D30 and a front XJ DS. This makes broken front shaft or u-joint or a tacoed front or rear DS a 20 minute trail fix. You are welcome to my help or spare parts anytime if needed to get you home. I personally get a little heavy on the skinny pedal in the snow sometimes, but only when it is absolutely necessary...or screwing around in a desserted parking lot...lol. I have a feeling this run is going to be a blast!!

 

speaking of snow, there better be a whole bunch, so much we have to plow through some of it. i am looking forward to that

 

So Rockstar or Redbull?

 

Sounds like my kinda fun, I love snow! Im getting a spare rear ds today and Ive been dumping money into my jeep for a while so its in the best shape its been in since I first got it. The only modification I still want is a cv driveshaft but my vibes are not that bad. I put 4* steel shim in the leafs to adjust pinion angle (prep for cv ds) and with the stock d35 ds on my C8.25 gives me enough length that the ds shouldnt fall out. If that is even possible. Ive flexed it out as far as I can to check and the ds still has plenty of room to move even when the axle is hanging with the tires off the ground.

 

Oh, rock star actually sounds bomb...
