Broken front drive shaft
Well i was doing a little 4x4ing in the ditches by my house. some off camber stuff, seeing how far i could push my LS. no mud or anything just ditches on the side of the gravel road.
When i exit the ditch at an angle, it will lift up one of the rear tires naturally and LS would break open and spin the free wheel, so i was playing around putting it in 4x4 low and what not, just getting a feel for the components, when SNAP!!!!
Twisted the damn thing right in the middle. Oh well no big deal, still drove the truck out in 2 wheel drive. Lucky the front drive shafts are easy to take out as long as the bolts arent stuck. Which seems to be the case on the differential side.
Just though i would share an experience with you guys.
