Well I learned you cant wheel hard for ever without broken stuff...
Last weekend went wheeling... Snapped an axle shaft, killed two tires, blew up a shock, bent my exhaust (1.5 foot section bent into about 6"), bent control arms, and alot more....

You can rebuild it... We have the Technology.
You can make it better than it was, Better... Stronger... Faster...
I miss the $6 million Dollar Man sometimes.
Only in a Jeep!
lol
sorry it was too easy.
looks painful, fortunately, Jeep parts are plentiful and usually fairly cheap. so you'll be back in business soon anyway. And don't you have like 14 Jeeps now anyway?

Axle = Not cheap by any means!

ouch, what were you doing playing on the rocks
just upgraded the drivetrain in the burb to 3/4 ton, still need an adjustable proportioning valve to dial the brakes in though.
haha ruff stuff....were you bouncing around and then the tires caught or what.....haha ouch....I got a jeep KJ and I hope mine never ends up like that haha....if it does tho its time for more goodies
Thanx Charles
Wasnt bouncing but got wedged nicely...
UPDATE
There used to be an axle:
Allan this is for you! Who said an axle swap isnt a one man job! You just need some skate boards!

OOOooooouuuuuucccccchhhh! First rule of wheelin' : Odds are you can & will break parts. Sheesh! The worse that broke on me was a cheapo cam the previous owner put in that went flat just as I started home from a day some thought it was certain I'd be stuck.

You do the math.
Go beyond the "bolt-on".

That better be a complement, Phewes. Or I'll be teachin' you some "english" when our paths cross.

The best part about breaking parts is knowing you get a chance to upgrade.
Good luck on finishing it all up. Get that beast back out on the road.
Have a good one,

On the road? I think this has been named the new trailer beater...

Does he look like one pu$$y @$$?
You can teach me whatever you want... its up to me to listen or not.
i was going to say take it easy, but screw that. you're not wheelin if you're not breakin @!#$.
upgrading is always fun. my last trip out i blew all four shocks and crunched up my skid plate. nothing TOO serious. now i'm saving money to upgrade.
GO PATS!!!
