I was playing in a swamp yesterday and taking it easy as not to break any thing because Today I was supposed to be going on a trip and........

Well I guess I learned some thing, If you get enough creek weed wrapped around your axle it will bind up on the A arm lock your axle and brake you C/V and bend the sh!t outa the flange :'(
Any body ever bent the flange before ?
I have a spear inner axle but no spare C/V so that ='s no trip Today :'( :'( :'(

I did that but it was caused by a nut backing off of one of the bolts. It twisted enough to bend the inner flange and distroyed the cup.

That was one off the things I was wondering about while cutting the weed away seams I only put the diff in the other week I though I might not have done them up properly but they were still tight. Pity I didn't have the camera with me you would believe how much weed had wrapped around the axle :o
-
That flange is part of the long side axle,
bend it straight, weld that cup back together,
get some 5/8" (sorry I don't know the mm size)
balls in that CV and go wheeling, put a CV boot
on it if you have one, if not stay out of the bad stuff,
but then again, who cares, you are going to replace it
soon after the trip, so go have fun.

Go get a NAPA spare axle ($70). They have a LIFETIME warranty. I've never broken mine, though!

He's in New Zealand ;)
Is there Napa there ???
-
No Napa here.
I decided to try and find a CV Locally today but it's a Stat Holiday here and the only 2 places open had none so I then though I'd just check the others and re- grease them thats when I found this...

As this diff is on loan from my local dismantler I'm going to give up while I'm ahead and still have enough parts to piece it together again and return it to them.
Then I'll wait for my anvil and 5:83's to arrive throw the 5:83's in the G/V 3rd with an ARB and see how that goes.

Yeah, super busy - and the Gnewt is out of service right now!  I had to steal her alternator to keep my 4-door running - I'll get it repaired or replaced soon, I hope!
Thinking about Moab, so this is where I come to "think about it" with my friends!  I guess I should get all my fluids replaced before Moab.  Oh!  I got the new Spidertrax Super Dooper Hub Bolt Kit for Christmas!  Gotta get that installed!

I've been up in my Bronco back in 2002. That was an assume sight to see. I loved it. The steepest part is definately in the beginning. All you see is sky!!! Make sure there are some clouds that way at least you are reaching for something ahead of you.....
Views are fantastic. It's not for the fear of heights type as the edge up top just rolls over. There really isn't an 'edge' per se. Lots of room up top to turn around. Lots of other ledges also.
It's also a pay fee rock. Someone has ownership to the ground in front of it. To get to the rock, it'll cost some little green.
However, it's one of those awesome sights to be at when in Moad. Other sites, if you can't drive up, walk up, Moab rim and Cliff Hanger. Gotta love the views.....
If you doubt that you can't drive on the trails in Moab, get the Wells book on Moab. There are more trails for stock, near stock vehicles. Only those trails which are more difficult get all the mag write-ups.

SWEET PICS!!! I love the shot coming down!
