Hey Ed, a little update. Three of my people aren't going up for Clayton (Dustin, Kyle, and Tom).

Plausible Deniability!! Smart friends.

I will note it.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Tom- family member died, needs to go to a funeral
Kyle- going to see his family early for xmas, had to cancel
Dustin - has to work to support his pregnant girlfriend.

November was an interesting month...

Wow, Tom and Dustin worked real hard on their cover stories. Kyle, not so much.

In all seriousness, my condolences to Tom and his family.

If you only did it once, then I can see why you are in such a bad mood right now.

So extra parts...

I have none... Should I go buy some an extra U-joint for the front? Try and see if I can dig up some shafts? (D30/D35c) I know someone said they had a shaft for the 30, and another person said they had a shaft for the 35?

U-joints & fan belts are always a good idea

I have a D35C shaft, not sure what side, I will bring it. I think I have some baby Jeep U-joint leftover from Lynda's old Jeep, I might bring those also...

I wouldn't stress too much about it. If you can find some spares cheap or going price get them, otherwise you should be ok since your diffs are open. (they are open, right?) You can get ujoints for the front, not a bad idea, but it is rare that they break and not destroy the ears on at least one of the shafts when they go. Better to have a whole assembly to slide in and worry about salvaging what broke when you get home. There is also a pretty good NAPA in town, I got a brake line one year that they shipped in from somewhere, nice people.

the most commom breakage is U-Joint straps, buy a spare set of those, don't get the crappy ones in the help section, get the ones behind the counter.

[TMatheaus]

precision makes some decent u-joint straps

[AggieTJ2007]

agreed, if you listen to others in the club i wouldn't worry about the ujoints, It took me quite a while to break a ujoint with 33's with a locked diff

Other than carrying ALOT of spare sh!t you are usually not an example to follow

[AggieTJ2007]

agreed, but if ujoints lived for me then they should live for most other people esp those with a 4cyl

Do you think I can carry an axleshaft on the airplane

Edit: i doesn't say no but since it says no baseball bats, I would assume no
