"I wasn't doing burn outs" says a buddy of mine

[comanche killer]

so I got a call last night around 10:30 last night  from a buddy  I work with that has a 2005 tj 3.5" lift on 35's the call went i think I blow may trans it wont move and makes grinding noise when I let the cluch out? He all  so said he heard a pop just befor it stoped moving
told him to leave it where it stoped movin earls parking lot in dalhousie and we will take a look in the moring
went there this  moring.   what do I find when I take a look at it?
I find the drivers side axle shatf snaped   good thing I still had my old spares laying around at the shop  
got it all fixed up and back rollin. spent my lunch hour fixing it   not my ideal lunch
he said he wasn't doing burnouts but when he was working on geting the broken end out of the carrie  I went for walk around parking lot and found two parallel black marks fitts the bill for his jeep as we just put 3.73 gears with a track lock  in it so ya we only had time to do the gears in the rear so we took off the front drive shaft so I think he was using 4low  so with all the power being throwin at the poor d35 something had to let go   I hope he learned his leason    dont forget to bring spare axle shafts with you if ur doing burnouts in 4low lol.
no more like thumbs down there bud

Being a moterhead, doing burnouts is a right to passage leaving pub3rty. Wait a minute I still do burnouts in my old age  Ive only broken three sets of axles all on the street and about ten sets of gears over the years. Nope i was not doing a burn out either 















Testing for breakage

Andy ur the man 
I not saying that Ive never  done  burn outs for the boys at the shop a few times  at 6psi  with the 36's  but  I  had no brakeage so it makes me wonder what he was realy doing with his jeep last night  cuz all hes saying is he just pulled out of his parking spot and heard a snap lol I find that story hard to beleave lol

[morerpmfred]

Only one actually broke during the testing cough cough. The rest broke driving normally .
