Rebuilt of a Billet Silver mall crawler

Had some time to swap out front axles today. Knocked it out in under 3 hours, and I was taking my sweet time.
U joints are definitely beefier than stock.

I am pleased with Carbon off-road shafts so far. Now it’s time to test them out soon.

Got my free light bar on yesterday, wasn’t sure if I was gonna like it but, I think I am digging the look.

then proceeded to test it out on the trail. Legit 1.25” more flex with it on. Chris and I tested it out at Badlands.

Whaaaaat? I've never seen a broken shock shaft. Hinrichs bent a King 2.5 shaft last Spring but damn, that's crazy. Nice bumper BTW ;)
 
Light bars definitely add more flex, I read that on the internet somewhere.

How the fuck did you break a shock shaft?

It’s actually quite easy. Back the Jeep up against a tall tree stump that’s out of your sight.

Keep pushing right here, even though you know you are up against something and it doesn’t quite feel like it is your tire that’s up against it.

No kidding, after seeing that one guy fix his radiator hose with duct tape and RTV silicone today, I am definitely adding some kind of duct tape into my trail kit, and a new tube of silicone.

Agreed, can't believe I overlooked having it in the kit already. Next time out I may cover the sides of my Jeep with it 😂
 
Wow man that's crazy about your shock. Easy break, easy fix right!
