Well after a great day up in Big Bear, I was driving home on the 210 almost to the 15 when, BAM! followed by a clunk, clunk, clunk. I was able to get to the side of the freeway and saw that the u-joint on the transfer case side decided to go. It took out one of the u-joint straps. I hope the yolk is ok. I was going to just pull the driveshaft and drive home but I also noticed a lot of fluid splatter everywhere especially on the inside of both front tires. I decided to just call AAA. Glad I have the plus service good for up to 100 miles. I had to wait for 2 tow trucks. The first to get me off the freeway and then the 2nd to get me home. I had a CHP pull up to check on me and he thanked me for deciding not to try and fix anything on the side of the road. While inspecting everything, I said to myself, "Self! What are you doing under your Jeep while all these cars are whizzing by at 70 mph!"
I wonder if the front end went south. The Jeep is in the garage waiting for daylight to assess the damage.
