Well, I found out bigger tires = shit breaks easy  Hammer Head

I only got to wheel about 1 hour and busted the rear driveshaft on the rock ledges.  It started to bounce but I was close to making it so I gased it and BANG!  It busted the u-joint and the ears off of the yoke.  Also my T-case is making some nasty noises in 4x4.
Before it broke I was really impressed with the TSLs and the suspension, it was working really well.

Of course I didn't have a spare and no other Samurai guys out there had spares.  So we were spectators.  We found some cool guys from Omaha and Hastings that we drank and shot the shit with Beer Chug

I got a couple of pictures of my rig when I get my camera out of my buddys truck.  But no action shots thanks to the breakage.

I don't know why I posted my Tuttle Creek response in this thread, or did I?  Something weird there.

Oh, Mike you got any spare shafts?
