that problem is being worked on as we speak!!!! im going to order some longer stroke air rams for my locker levers on the axle... if that doesnt work, then its time to pull the carriers and replace the locking collar.


thanks for all the pics guys!!! i had an awesome time, i really enjoy smaller groups of rigs... and its even better when all of us are capable enough to follow eachother and not worry about excessive breakage and damage.

its trips like these that make me happy to be a wheeler, and thankful that ive got good friends to throwdown with. its a good feeling to go home with a smile on your face after a rewarding day of full on good ass wheeling!!

Talk to ROCKAPE, he may have a hook-up. Otherwise call Randy's R&P, their tech folks are very helpful and should get you what you need.

You should still head to a junk yard to pick up a stock waggy shaft for a spare.

I am just going to buy a pair of axles and use the one that is still good for a spare, since Moser doesn't have the greatest rep, compared to Superior or Alloy.

Even though the diff is centered the shafts are different lengths (more knowledgeable folks weigh in here :cool:). You still need a spare for the passenger side rear.

gawd it was scary watching him drive on 395 back to reno!!! i passed by him and his rear passenger wheel was just wobbling around...i was imagining the outer part of the broken shaft just slowly boring out the axle tube and then SNAP as his entire axle falls into 2 pieces. SCARY!

I followed him all the way back to Reno and, Ya, It was a little scary. It wobbled more at slow speeds, but would smooth out around 55. Every once and a while it would start wobbling bad, and I was wondering if I was going to have to dodge his wheel when it flew off his Jeep:eek:

Even though the diff is centered the shafts are different lengths (more knowledgeable folks weigh in here :cool:). You still need a spare for the passenger side rear.

I am pretty sure the Yota rear shafts are identical.

Yeah between the water in the front tires and the rear tire, it was feeling more like a paint shaker :) Going to rip into it today, dismount all 4 tires tires and pull the rear axles.

Unfortunately we did not finish in time to wheel the buggy out for a test-run at P-Hill with you guys. But the buggy is alot closer to done, so we will see about next weekend :)

The sheetmetal is pretty durable, when every surface is flat. 5 minutes with a hammer, and a can of paint, and it was good as new:Big Grin: I'm pissed that I didn't pull my 4 day old bikini top off though, and it's fucked:mad: My new windshield glass is popped out of the gasket too, so I need to straighten the frame, and try to get it back in without cracking it:rolleyes:

I know, I'd rather have something to wheel while I'm waiting to finish the buggy then to sell the XJ and have nothing to wheel and have an incomplete buggy.

And let's face it, bolt on lifts and 33" tires are cheaper buggies!
