I did - made them a little longer. Now I will make them a little shorter.

Was playing around on one of the rock piles behind the house "testing" the rear suspension...picked too aggressive of a line backing up with my steering all the way to the driver stop.
Now I get to fix and then mad dash packing will ensue.

Steal my welder and slide hammer back from work and weld a bolt on to it. Going to be a little tight.

It's kinda funny how where all fixing shit at the last minute. This trips gonna be a dusy. lol
I've gotten most shit packed up but I know I'm forgetting something. Any chance your bringing bailing wire? I've got plenty of zip ties and duct tape to go around but have no idea where my roll of bailing wire is.

I am trying the Napa MaxDrive CV axles out. So far, not so happy. We will see after the Dusy Ershim trip which way I go - taking 3 spares with me.
May switch back to OEM as I talked to the local parts manager and he will match internet prices for me so I don't have to ship cores around. He would not do that before so I tried plan C. Plan B was making my son use Autozone "Lifetime" cv's on his - that really didn't go well. You should have seen those ball bearing flying down the sandstone on Hell's Revenge.
I didn't have great luck with the OEM ones either - broke this one and it took out my manual hub.

A company used to make “hub fuses” for 1st gen Aisin hubs. The inner ring which the dial face moves up and down to connect the hub body to the inner splines was modified with some weak points. This ensured it would fail first. But then your hubs would be full of metal chunks so I’m not sure it was that much of a benefit...

Sounds like you need some Lotus axles.

Or, really, a solid axle.

I used to have some on one of my first gens. I thought they broke wayyyyy too early.
Tougher cv axles would be nice - can't see myself doing a straight axle from a time or $ perspective. Every once in a while I get tempted (thanks [MENTION=67615]Dirtco[/MENTION]) but then the feeling eventually passes.

Maybe get the OEM...car-part.com.
Rebuild/regrease and do the cup grind.
This guy just did some cv mods.

Yup - dual cases backing up steep slope with steering cranked. I knew better...:ybrick:

Yeah, I'm sure the 37's had nothing to do with it.:behindsofa:
