So I pulled it back up front today to replace the yoke I busted last trip. Parked it, walked around front and saw this

You're not seeing things. The axle is bent a little. Luckily I can swap the one over from the new red XJ! Now to decide if I should try to swap it over before our next trip on Nov 13th or run it that day and do it over the winter.

Went out today with the local club and made it about 100 feet into the park when I decided that running this ravine just wasn't challenging enough. So I tried to climb out of it. :smack:
Twenty minutes into the day I did this

Ripped the grill and headlights off getting winched away from a tree. Snapped the front passenger ujoint right away and snapped the shaft, my 1st!, trying to get turned around. There was a nice loud bang when that shaft let go.
Also my welded rear axle that is supposed to make both tires turn no matter what is now not doing that. Power is only going to one wheel. No noises from the diff though so I don't know what's up yet.

Finally had a wheeling trip with no broken parts. However the Commanders' trans decided to go into limp mode after we got home. I take it in Friday to get diagnosed.
I put up a few pics here. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...1&l=adab6c6ea1
