Hairy Crack Trail & Dinner

[Mitch]

Tony,

The trail was much softer after the snow and is getting chewed up on the rock approaches, and then I got stuck in one of those Hairy Cracks.

Not having the Jeep for a few days and some repair bills might help to get my butt out and actually look for a job. I've been unemployed since Oct 11th. Three months of Jeeping all the time and just playing around might have to come to an end.

Max and Mitch
Great pics and vids! Looks like you guys had a great time.
Mitch, seems like that crack was a little too hairy for you..lol..

Truly sad, you will miss your baby for a bit.... hope those withdrawls don't set in anytime soon!

BTW,... like your new avatar.

Justin,

Max asked the same thing. If I can find a receipt and remember where I got it from I'll call Monday morning.

Thanks

Josh,

The Superior Super 35 kit that I bought was about $900.00 over a year ago. The Superior is supposed to be stronger than the Alloy USA shafts but the Alloy USA is the same price for a pair instead of just 1 side. I'm the newby with this kind of thing. It is a 1988 YJ with 30 Spline OX Locker and a good 30 Spline Superior Chromo axle on The passenger side.

Mitch

I thought the Super 35 shafts have a 5 yr warranty. Why are you having to pay for a new one?

yeah was a dumb reply on my part. the alloy rubi shafts are 299 for the pair. I didnt think about the other axle combo's. Sorry disregard my replies from now on.

The driver rear Superior 30 spline Chromolly axle has taken a pounding for 1 1/2 years. Luckly the passenger side axle is fine, the OX locker is fine, and the ring and pinion are fine. So next week we'll have an axle from 4 Wheel Parts (I can buy just one side) for $250 + tax, the Dana 35 is cleaned out and just needs a jack and slide out the old and in with the new.

Mitch

250 for one side is kinda expensive isn't it.

[dirtman13]

Great vids Mitch. I wish I could have made it.

[Mitch]

Chuck,

I changed it just for you. When I swap the broken axle I'll plant it next to the obstacle and name that spot. Haaa.....Maybe something like "Junior Snapper"? If it would have been on the big waterfall it could have been real interesting.

Now for some videos
