So i was doing the truck pull at the local fair about a month ago...my pull was going really good..i think i was going to get a full pull...then snap...my rear wheels locked up then sniping my driveshaft.. so i tried pulling myself home seeing as i live right down the road i took a corner onto my street and mike (dhjunkie) yelled for me to stop i hit my brakes and there was noting i drive onto the curb to stop i look back and my wheel is hanging out....so it got towed...took it apart and it was destroyed...got a rebuild on it now and its all better although i should have regeared and got a 14 bolt.... heres the pics

there's one of your problems . . . you forgot to put duck tape on the drive shaft AS WELL AS the universal.
that sucks, I hope it didn't dent savings account too bad.

You did some good damage on that rear end. Good job!
You need you a DANA 77 or something like that to be doing that shit. If you snap the axle it doesn't matter you can still go home since the hubs float. I have DANA 77 on the back of my diesel truck.

Amen. I have a full floater for the back of the play truck. I can't say as I've ever needed it, but knowing it's there is always nice.
