Here is my new pride and joy my 79 f150, It has a 460 big block with a 6in sky jacker lift with anti-hop bars rolling on 35in yokohama geolander M/T. It bought it for only $700. It has already broken its first axle shaft, which was the saddest moment in my life hahahah.

Big Block+35's(or bigger)+mud+heavy right foot = breakage

That is a 44 front end right? get some CTM U joints:thumb: or source out a used dana 60.

Ya I wish I had the money for a D-60 but I dont and it is a 44, the way it broke was when i had it in 4-wheel and was tring to make it around a tight turn and the front tires were caked and the tire rubed against the coil and started hoping and I herd a crunching nosie, and it stoped hard and sudden.

But I cant wait to fix it for i am going to drive it to school.

Well its racing is over till mid summer, and with the economy the way it is not enough people could make the payments, so i did not work for all feb but I am puting in an app for this other place. I was saving up for new tires for it but I had to spend that money on my driving class, so basicly I spent all of my money and have no way to get any as of now.

Sam and I went down to the farm. Real nice place. Anyway teh damage was a little more extensive than our parts/ The hub is wasted and the bearing that the stube shaft rides on inside the spindle is gone as well. As soon as Sam gets those parts we'll get it back together.

Yep traded the XJ for the 2500 chevy, need a tow rig. Me and JT went to BFE last weekend to pick up my trailer. Kept the winch CB and sub from XJ. Installed new 1000 watt amp and 2 12's in the XJ for Sam. Have fun Sam keep her shiny side up and don't get a noise ordinance ticket with that thing now!

We are taking a trip to Ohio friday to pick up Lucky.
