Blazer Bash 2023 Carnage Thread

[mechted]

Rookie year, and I get the honor of starting this since no one else has yet.

I trashed the pinion bearings on my Dana 60. Seal is leaking oil everywhere. 1/8" of radial play on my pinion yoke. I think I might be done rather than try to tighten it up and run Sunday. Researching and weighing options.

Only 1/8”, crank that bitch down and run it. You’re in Moab and it already needs rebuilt

Oh no. We’re you able to drive out on your own?

 

[rderosier]

Yup, worst part was winching up down and out but since I had a passenger it was pretty easy, cruised out of the rest of it.

Nice, how’s the rear suspension working so far?

 

[rderosier]

Rear suspension is a dream, beyond amazing

He’s right you know…. But I get if you want to save the ring and pinion.

That wouldn't happen if you stopped running into things.

 

[Babaganoosh]

I rolled up my passenger window looked at it and it shattered.

 

[500$k5]

Got a couple small dents. One in each front LMC fender. (They are junk anyway). Chunked out my old BFG's. They are done! They aren't soft enough anymore anyway. Time to retire them! The CFM Industries skid plate did awesome!!!!

 

[Babaganoosh]

The lower metal piece behind my bumper going fender to fender broke.

Tow rig’s tailgate won’t open cause I backed up into the light pole in front of the house trying to get the trailer out in the dark.

Dana 60 front oil drain. Yay... full differential rebuild. Gears and Bearings ordered from ORD.
