I broke my rear driveshaft rear ujoint on the fourth day on Cayenne Crawler trail, Las Cruces, NM.
I don't have a pic of my rig where it broke, but here is one of the ledge that did it. Right rear tire folded in, lost air, got wedged into that lower overhang...full power with full lockers and BANG! Broke the ujoint right off the diff yoke.
4 fawking hours to get off the trail later, made home base in El Paso TX at 1:30am.
Drove 14 hours the next day with truck on the trailer. It's good to be home.
That is all.

Pretty good, actually. Never did get to eat dinner that night, since it was being served at 6pm.

glad you made it home. It must have broke due to bad spotting.
Where's the rest of the pics?

Glad you got out ok. Be sure to bring a couple spares to Moab.
