Here we go again.

Now is a good time to find that one
Is it Alloy USA?

Are you keeping the 44 or stepping into something bigger?

Alloy it is. Looks like they're working warranty claims through thier distrbutors so I put in a call to Northridge. Hopefully David can help me out.
Staying iwth the D44s for a while longer. Had super good performance out of them so see no need to change.

[COLOR="Sienna"]Wait, is there something wrong with that picture? All my shafts are like that! The guy on craigslist said it's a "torsion offset" supposed to make them stronger.

Torsion offset huh...

[USMC 0369]

Torsion offset huh...

[COLOR="Sienna"]Well yea. The ad said, "cold rolled and torsion offset"; I figured that has to be the best! Hell I bought seven of them! Only cost me $800!!! I hunt around for the good bargains ya know.[/COLOR]

Took apart the rear D44 tonight and found this little gem...
Sure hope the warranty is still good.

That is a recurring theme!

Both sides. I have a feeling it happeneed on Jack Hammer. I had to stand on the skinny pedal a little harder than usual because I was following a couple of wanna be buggys that can't drive...

Just flip sides and it will twist back.

Hey, I was there that day and I didn't see any "wanna be buggys that can't drive...". But I do remember seeing you go from one rock to another, spinning your tires while screaming obscenities and giving me the stink eye. I also remember you jumping out of your Jeep with your face beet red, shaking your finger at me while I sat 100 yards away laughing my azz off.

That's my recollection, but then I wasn't actually in that train wreck.

And the can of worms saga starts again, LOL! Thant's why i love this site, you both are awesome! Through thick and thin like a married couple. :shout:

Andrew, did Kurt look like this?

Made lot's of progress in the last few days. Axles are out and getting stripped, T case is out and getting cleaned and new chain and clock ring installed. Currie came through for me and let me exchange my 1 inch shank JJ's for 1.250 JJs and I even got some way cool looking tubes ends and stuff. The folks a Currie are great. Got new axles coming from Alloy (Northridge came through nicely). Tranny cross member is done, 6160 plate is coming soon for the belly skid. Roll bar will be out and then the ctting will begin. I'll post pics soon. Gotta go clean up; I took a bath in Diff and tranny fluid tonight. Mmm mmmm good!

gosh Kurt, use a torque wrench next time! the elbow torque you put on those axle shafts is just no good!

Jesse,
Come on now, remember, I've seen you stand on the skinny pedal many times. I'm suprised your axles haven't done this...
