Where did your Jeep take You this Week?

Rubicon, did a few of the obstacles I avoided on the previous trips. Almost got through soup bowl, but ended up in a bad spot with the driveshaft hitting and had to pull line. Busted a front axle shaft being stupid and drove out in 2x4 for most of the way occasionally locking in the three wheel drive.

Sucks about the snapped shaft, time for an upgrade!

someday I’ll get out there to run that trail!

Looks like a great trip on the Rubicon! Sucks about your axle shaft though.

Looks like you had a pretty cool trip aside from the broken shaft. Shitty, but it happened in a cool place.

Thanks... Stock shaft on 37's was living on borrowed time, I almost replaced them while I was doing my gears this winter but decided to see how long I could make them last. Could have gotten more out of them if I would have used my brain. I ordered a set of Spicer chromoly shafts from the local driveline place
 
Took a trip through the Texas Hill Country with a couple buddies this weekend. Had lunch in the Llano river.

Nice! That looks like a blast! I’ve reserved a backcountry campsite in Big Bend for Labor Day weekend (Fri-Mon). I’m open to have some people join if you want. Going to hit Old Ore, Black Gap and maybe a part of River Road that runs along the Rio Grande.

Wasn’t the JL for your wife? Or did you claim that now lol

Still have the Durango Andy. It's still going but at 275k miles, It only gets driven locally. Trade in value was $500. Probably just keep it as a spare and let my kids drive it if they need to use it until it finally dies. I can;t believe it's still going strong. Gives me faith in these 3.6 V6's

Ya, I kinda claimed the JL after a while. Lol, she gave up on it after I lifted it and threw 37's on it last Summer.
