We all seen the video of my truck jumping. Direct damage done by the landing: 1 bent axle housing, secondary damage to replace housing: new ball joints upper and lower (43,000 miles on old ones), new axle seals left and right, new pinion seals, and bearings, 1 crush ring for pinon depth, (possibly hub assemblies and unit bearings) purchased just in case. Lesson learned (This truck doesn't leave the ground unless there is no other choice). This all purchased before even checking the carrier and the axles themselves. I will be receiving the report on the carrier and the axles in the morning as I had to leave for work preseparation and inspectionof these components.

On the first jump I landed really hard and the second was smooth.

Thanks to Davis for helping me piece the rig back together.

 

Damn LittleFoot, Didn't know that you substained that kind of damage from that jump. Got to say it looked very fine from the pic. Well, lessons learned eh, still ya have a fine off road machine.

Now I'm really bummed knowing that those Dukes of Hazzards jumps were really fakes!

 

Wow. Dude. What? This is the first I have heard. Where can I see this video?
