The Jimmy build, beat and rebuild with very few updates.

Of what? Links look the same, only bigger. Ball joints, no change. Exhaust is 2 90s and 2 straight tubes with a muffler attached. Nothing impressive.
 
Some days......

I wonder why I get out of bed.

Planned to do little things on the Jimmy. Radio lost power, arrange tool and parts bags. Blow the dust out.

Backed it up and drove into the barn and I hear clicking. The rear yoke took a beating when I broke everything else, so I figured it must have an issue. Visual inspection previously did not point out anything. So I go to pull the drive shaft, and I can not slide the slip yoke forward to remove the u-joint out of the pinion yoke. Up on the lift it goes. I remove the slip yoke and it is stiff but will slide. Has a plastic on the splines. Very hard material. Not sure if that is something new they are doing or is the spline was wore out and that is how they fixed it. Was all supposed be new back in January. I did not pull the yoke off so never saw that. That is a call I will make Tuesday.

Everything looks and feels good. So I put it back together. Click, click, click. :confused:

I have Eileen drive it slowly. Coming from the front.:yikes: I do not need this. I am supposed to load up tomorrow and leave Monday morning for BB2017.

Here is the idiot moment. I looked down and notice the front hubs are locked. Fixed it. 2 hours wasted.:doah:
