yup
You can if you find someone to make it for you, I run one
I think for mine the splines are not strong enough to be stronger then the 1410 so better the brake the 1350 then the splines, in theory.
My new front driveshaft
As well as my old / new spare driveshaft
The double cardon end cut off just waiting on a 1310-1350 u-joint

Been looking a Twinkie for a bit decided to pull the trigger on a bit of a modification.
Much easier to get stuff in the back seat now. I can actually reach the first aid kit which is between the two back seats.
Next I may even pull out the third seat.
First picture is the before shot. When I built it I bringing all three of the kids so I wanted good keep their butts in the seats protection.

So went wheeling in Vernal this weekend. You say what is Saturday why is Twinkie on the trailer ?
As some of you may recall did steering box frame mods. When put it back on I did nuts on the box side. Boxed the frame and sleeved the holes.
Some how the heads of the bolts have broken off the top two bolts.
What do you mean “somehow”?
We all know the forces involved in breaking bolts. If they exist anywhere, it would be at the steering gear box mount area.

Maybe you need to slow down...
Got the box off, no biggy.
The top two bolts both sheered off at the same spot.
The two bolt that were left one was a grade 5 one a grade 8. The two that sheered were the same one a grade five the other a grade eight.
I think what the issue may be is the mounting spots for the box are not flush with the frame so going to fix that before the box goes back in.

Box is in.
Front driveshaft yokes are tightened
Pitman arm nut is tightened
It would seem that I need to do a better job of checking to make sure things are tight.

I saw some Twinkie pics in the Full Size Inv FB thread Steel bend and such, wonder how stuff comes lose and breaks. Price we pay to enjoy
You can see where it was rubbing on the frame, black paint has transferred over
So the other issue that we had that was on Friday we were on a trail and it was way high up in the mountains and it decided to rain, sleet, hail, thunderstorm Etc. We got wet, we got muddy, but it was fun, cuz it was the wife and I. Definitely a memory we will not forget.
That being said the body mod is a definite going to happen.

So jack stand idea update, yeah did not really work when I put them under the Blazer. Worked great under my sons bug, guess the Blazer is to heavy. Not sure if I had a set locked, don't think so, because I did a 180 with it, but it would roll great until it had to go backwards. Ended up trying to push the Blazer with Twinkie, and it fell off the jack stands. So I will be ordering four of them from Beck.
