Found out what I broke yesterday!!!

May 13, 2004 24 Replies

Well I was right about breaking the driver side rear axle on my jeep. BUMMER!!! But really stank was the fact that I also broke 3 teeth off of the ring gear also!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OUCH!!! Good thing is that I didn't have to replace the locker.



I wish that Bill was right though, I wish I only broke the spider gear.



OH WELL!! But as my wife says, "That is why we bought it" GOD I love her!!!

Is she looking for a new husband, perhaps??? ;)

That never would have happened with the mighty D35.

D35?????? I forgot to mention that it was a Dana 44 that I broke.

I went over to the shop and looked at the axle. It broke where the shaft goes into the pumpkin or where the spines end and the shaft is smooth.

All I have to say is that I am glad that it is fixed.

I thought so but I wasn't sure. I'm still a little new at all of the different parts.

Thanks!!

Geezzz.... Does your wife have any sisters? :-)

Of course, then I'll have to find someone to take mine. :-)

What the heak is an ear Bling Bling? Stereo?

My wife just got a new BMW 325i not a year ago and she fights me every step of the way with the CJ7. So I need to work extra jobs to pay for it and the upgrades.

Consider yourself lucky.

My wife bought our CJ7....

I had to go buy her a Cherokee so I could get to drive the CJ...
