My Team Frameless and Shamless shirt got me home on Saturday!
My broken axle was doing just fine until I hit a huge bump on I-25 and it broke loose and started to bind. Pulled over and cut my shirt into strips. (new jeep, I have NOTHING in it)
Used the said strips of shirt to tie my axle back into place so it would not hit the unit bearing bolts and shear them off. I had to pull over and do this mutiple (15) times. 2 hrs to get to littleton......
Lesson learned.....PULL AXLE SHAFT WHEN BROKEN!!!!! I knew better.....
Happy Monday!!!!
