I broke both outer tie rods, and the front drive shaft... But it was still fun. Here are some pics that were taken...

How'd you get her home?

 

Fortunately my grandma was going right by the trail entrance to see some family, and brought me new tie rods. I just removed the drive shaft till I get another one tomorrow.

 

Now why did you do that? lol
Actually, I want to hear HOW you did that.
I imagine it involved a hard front impact of some sort?

 

We dont actually know how it happened. I think I might have damaged the tie rods 2 weeks ago at lavant. The drive shaft has been going for months. I thought the axles were on the way out, but today I realized it was the drive shaft.... and found out the hard way...
What I think may have happened, is when going to go up the rock, my drive shaft snapped then when I hit the rocks, instead of going over the rocks, the tires hit then. The rocks pushed the rims/tires in, then the tie rod bent then snapped.

Ill take pics of the tie rods tomorrow.

 

That sucks. At least you now have an excuse to fix it all.

 

Now im looking for Dana 44's for a SFA swap...

 

Sucks that you busted her up but any thing that ends in a Dana is good in my book. Why not go dana 60 and swap the rear for a corporate 14 while you're under there...

still sucks your down but at least it was having fun and not some dumbass on a cell that got you....

 

44's will be more then enough for me. Ill save the 60's for a buggy when I build one. I drove it home. Nothing will keep it off the road...lol... I even have a spare engine sitting at my shop just in case... over 300 000km on this one. Compression, oil pressure, performance are all still great. The engine I have as a back up has 120 000km.
I even filled the intake in a puddle on time on the trails. Pulled #1,2,and 3 plugs, and fired her right up!!!

 

Some pics off my cell...
