This is called the "fawk yeah" buggy with my group. So why not add a little personal touch...



I am running a roller 351, but with a 5.0L HO upper plenum. So none of the factory name plates were fitting lol.

Broke both inner shaft ears but didn't break the joint. Fwiw the shaft that broke also was the one that had a twist on the splines at the carrier. And was the original inner from the first 60 I ran. So that shaft is 5 yrs old, has seen one or two broken stubs, and was also in the 60 that I bent and twisted the tubes on. So that shaft was well over due. I have video of what I was doing 10 minutes before the break, you'll see that it really should of broke then lol. Hoping to salvage the stub for a spare. Time to get new shafts. What's the scoop on shafts now a days. Rcvs are to expensive, I've heard superiors aren't what they used to be.
 
You showed them rocks!
 
Splines didn't look any worse..

Stub looks undamaged, and the ujoint as well outside of missing two caps lol.
 
That was fast. You running 35 spline?
 
I have been running Spicer d70 35 spline outers and the stock inners for almost 5 yrs with failures. Those shafts have been in 4 different rigs. The stub is fine, only the inner broke. The ujoint itself was relatively undamaged as well. The ears of the inner just gave up.
 
Rolled it last week screwing around. Only damage was roof sheet metal. Got lucky as I was only wearing my lap belt.

Competed in a few comps including a burn out contest and tough truck, then an obstacle course another day.

I also installed chromo front shafts and sold my ltbs and bought some mtrk in a 42" flavor along with some kmc bead locks.

It sure looks good when it's all clean & polished and all the wheels are pointed in the right direction!
