I bought a long field from Bobby and he asked if he could keep the axle on his wall of shame. I told him it was fine. I will get the truck back together soon but it is far from the top of my priority list and that makes me![]()

Initial Investment? I could talk a lot I mean a lot about initial investment in not only your wheeling rig, but your schooling that doesn't make sense to me, but I am not trying to bust balls here.
As best I can see I screwed up in my purchase thinking that I was buying Longfields, in my pre assembled axle. Now I busted an axle shaft, that I don't know where came from. I would be out shipping the axle to and from two different vendors which comes out to just under 40 bucks, all to have them deny that they sold the thing originally, simply because the guy I bought it from won't tell me where he got it (I have emailed and PM'd him). So, what I would rather do is put in an axle that I know is not going to break, have THAT comfort in my mind (if it does I will fix it then and now have a warranty and proof) and move on from my mistake.
I think he was using the term "investment" in the sense that when you buy the very top of the line of an item you expect to not have to buy another one...not as a jab at you
But since you wanna talk about good financial sense, you're the one who gave a $200 birfield to a guy who makes birfields![]()
Somebody got butthurt and decided to get personal. BAN HIM!
Took 3.5 months to change a bloody axle but I got it done. The Ugly Tan Taco rides again...
Now it is time to pull T-Cases and get the sealed up right, should be done around Clayton time...
Well nevermind that ****, it's done now! Gonna take her out to BMRA in a week and a half and make sure I have everything good before I head to Clayton in November. Bitch is sealed up, has a new battery, runs like a top, drives better and is loaded on the trailer. I could only ask for a straight cab.
Now it is time to somehow convince Creighton after the first of the year to get his tube bending geniusness into building me a cage . Now that he is in Dallas again it will be convenient.![]()
geniusness eh?

Blew the steering pump at BMRA. Had a psc pump I had bought a while back for a spare that I put on her and she is fixed and upgayed. Had to poser flex it out after I fixed the steering and take a picture.
