Disaster on the way to juniper

Postby CopenhagenCowboy » Sat Feb 13, 2010 5:33 pm

me and ogle were driving to juniper, he was following me on the highway, i started to notice some weird vibrations and all of a sudden POP! my first thought was well at least i can upgrade my driveshaft now. lol i pull over and both u-joints on my rear driveshaft broke sending the shaft flying across the street nearly missing ogles yoda and on to the median. Luckily we remembered somethin we read on this site and threw her into 4wd and limped to ogles house. I guess thats one way to end a nice day at juniper. bought all the stuff i need to fix it and hopefully get her back in runnin condition tomorrow. :nonnon

That's no fun but it can lead to a learning experience... If you can come with Zach to my place tomorrow I'll help you out as much as possible.
