Let's play guess the carnage

How big is it?

Hey Bax..good news for us mega-torque junkies, BTW. I thoroughly punished that new rear drive shaft setup this past Saturday..in fact, its the first time ever that I let go with a full-throttle tire spinning assault at a sheer rock face...and no breakage. So..5 years and 5 rear drive shafts later (haha..that has a certain symmetry to it, don't it?) ..I finally got 'er and its time to move on to the next weak link in the chain..said link undoubtedly going to show itself this summer,. or I ain't trying hard enough. Wooo hooo..;D

Love your bumper sticker "Honk if parts fall off." I really need that one!

thanks..the one on my front fender gets a lot knowing and/or sympathetic nods too....;

 

[oleguy74]

it has to be a very damaged part

 

[bmc69]

it has to be a piston

uh..see post #18. I believe that is a maple universal replacement plug...nothing but the best fer my junk.

So I haven't been following your driveshaft upgrades. What's this new setup that is holding up?

 

[bmc69]

Lessee...1330 front CV (Rockford Driveline), 2.5" tube with Rockford Extreme-Travel spline assy, 1350 dif yokes and 1350 Tom Woods offset u-joint.

Thanks. You have a 5.5" SL, correct?

Bill, Putting your wood in everything is not always a "fix" for everything. But if your good with wood you can do anything. He put wood ? In his what?
I never would of guessed drain plug. Those shafts have to hold up they are too pretty to break. Good job on the full throttle. That always adds to the "Fun O Meter".

Roger that.

".

Had to really drive it in hard too...didn't want anything to leak...

My guess was going to be a u joint cap. I had a couple look like that at the april fools meet a couple of weeks ago. I like looking at your rig. Its like your always under it after a good day of wheeling.

 

[Bitch'nBronco]

muffler bearing?

 

[Madgyver]

Bill,
Did you get that video of your wheelstand?

Post it for all to see..........;D

 

[tcjones76]

ok, i'll guess. a piece of pinion gear?

A pinion gear might end the day and he was only down a couple hours - How about carrion-joint on the drive shaft?

Oh I see we already have a winner, any pictures of the rear winch up close?

I think one of the guys got 'wheelstand' video of me ttemtping to climnb that rock cliff face...
but that don't count since I was already past 45 degrees vertical to start with. Hey..speaking of being vertical..didja know you can wind the snot out of a 400 with zero oil pressure and not hurt it? I swear all Ford really needed to do with those things is put a grease zerk on each of the mains.;D

Different angle..same chit. It's a MM9000 tucked in there...

 

[got-broncos]

There it is

That last photo shows the bill fuel better!

 

[Potshot]

Yeah, re:essential tools... the last picture shows the Corona wrench better too.

It's a sculpture of ET. I didn't read all 3 pages of responses, so apologies if this is the 10th time someone said this
