second time in 50 years I've had to do this..

JLDickmon · Apr 1, 2013

pull the rear driveshaft, lock in the hubs, and drive a FWD pickup...
I'm getting the slip yoke and splines replaced in Mighty Whitey..

can't down the truck..

first time, I was mudding my old Power Wagon and spun the rear shaft into a neat little pretzel...

Done this twice in the 6 years I've been driving. Its always fun lol. Sheared axle bolts once and grenaded a rear end the next. Both just cruising luckily and not in it hard.

Sent from my x2 chillin in the middle of no where

Makes it a bit hard to steer like that, but it works fine.

I had to do that for 20 miles back from a pull once when I sheared off the rear pinion.

I've had to do this way more times than I can count. I will say though, it's funny watching people's expressions when you race them in front wheel drive an you roll smoke off just the front tires

live life full throttle

Had to drive home from a pull after breaking the driver side axle. Twice.

only time I tried it was with an old suburban, blew up the rear end and it wouldn't go, so I locked her in and made it a 1/4 mile and boom! grenaded the rear end, by the time I got stopped I had no rear brakes and I could see the inside of both rear tires, from the drivers seat in the mirrors :jawdrop: C clip rear axles suck LOL

Twice for me too. Once after breaking a pinion, the other while a new drive line was being built.

Not once did I ever attempt to do a front wheel burnout though.
