Eastcoastcam Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 I told him on the NSJC forum to call APJs to see if they may have the parts he needs and I could head out after work. Who knows, that is Bogfather's favorite playground, he might even go out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnwalker Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 I'm at work today so can't be of much assistance. Not much that can be done except bring him an axle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autumnwalker Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 ...and help him change it. Jesus - you want someone to bring an axle to you and then change it for you? What kind of operation do you think this is? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 He said in one post on the Jeep site that he is NOT the best mechanic in town ;). Ryan would be a great person for this rescue, as this sort of thing he does at APJ... and it's in his playground ;)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 I had my share. Changed a 10-bolt axleshaft in the field - twice. Under the weight of a Suburban. And had to take both wheels off to put a bar through from one side to the other to push all the broken bits out. Both times was nice weather like this thankfully! NOW I HAVE A 14-BOLT FULL FLOATER.

97 cherokee Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Still no axle found looking everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUXterra Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Tried NSJC? I think I can find one, but there is no way for me to deliver it from Truro tonight; Isaac is sleeping. Can the drive shaft be pulled from the vehicle (debris removed from the pumpkin, if applicable) in order for him to drive home FWD)? ETA: Sorry, I forgot this was also listed on NSJC. Also, the rear axle holds the wheel so if it's broken, there is nothing to hold the wheel in place. Should have bought an X, pull the rear drive gear & drive home :glare: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97 cherokee Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Would be fine if it had disc breaks it would hold the wheel from sliding out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastcoastcam Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I sent Bill a message to see if he has an axleshaft, or could help get the Jeep out to the pavement. He has gotten one out of the trail before with a broken rear axle. He may have some guidance here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
