Re: Went Mud Bogging
Your truck looks great muddy.Must have been a great time,always is right?What will it take to get that driveshaft in there?That would drive me crazy not being able to do what that truck is capable of.

Re: Went Mud Bogging
I love it! Glad to see you where smart enough to think ahead and have a tow vehicle ready.
I'm with special K it would drive me crazy not to be able to put it in 4 wheel drive. Wait a minute it did drive me crazy. After I installed a 14 bolt rear in my '71 3/4 ton the gear ratio was wrong. I drove it for over a year that way until I sold it (wife was crying when the new buyer drove off in it ![]()

Re: Went Mud Bogging
...and your point is?
Gotta pay to play, going big doesn't just mean the size of the truck. ![]() Who did you contact for the D-shaft? That does sound high, I had a 1-ton front shaft built with a 12" slip and all the goodies for 750.00 not to long ago. |

Re: Went Mud Bogging
I talked with Jesse at High Angle. He quoted me $900 for a 1 ton 42 cv d-shaft. If you know someone that can do it for less let me know.

Re: Went Mud Bogging

Where I live it is "real clay". It is the nastiest stickiest mud I have ever seen. You don't sink down very deep but it is hard to get any traction on it. Basically it is a dry lake bed.

Re: Went Mud Bogging
you know i have to say I enjoy this forum and all its members. Pirate 4x4 has a bunch of dicks. You guys actually enjoy threads for what they are intended to be about, P4x4 all they did was moan and complain about how stupid i was to go 4 wheeling w/o a front drive shaft.
So Thank you!

Re: Went Mud Bogging
It's all about having fun - here and out on the trail. It's not like you were out there alone and could have risked your life if you got stuck and didn't have a front driveshaft or winch. Now if you where 20 miles back in the mountains you'd get some polite suggestions from us not to do that again without a front driveshaft.
