My wife and I are planning on attending the "Ralley on the Rocks" event in Moab this May, and I was checking out some of the YouTube video's from last year. MAN!!! Are you kidding me? Most of those guys don't even wear helmets while climbing incredible angles. I don't think I would even attempt any trail rated over a 3 or so! Especially with a manual tranny. What I'm wondering is Troopers have a history of breaking axles and driveshafts right?. Do you think casual off roading on sandstone with mega traction will cause a breakage? I don't clutch dump ever (knowing that there are some weak links in the drivetrain.) What do ya think? I probably should pick up an extra drive shaft before going huh!

You ought to take a spare rear diff really though as long as rear driveshaft is cv style and not ujoint then you should be ok. Or take a lesson from me and pack in a extra timing belt

Sounds like Snowman just HAPPENS to have one for sale...........

Actually I'm waiting till I have some time to look at the drive shaft and see if it's a CV type. It's an 08' so I'm keepin my fingers crossed that it is the CV type.

When I snapped off my tranny output shaft at Moab, it was my fault. Before that I had climbed everything everybody else had and some easier. Most trails have a secondary route around the harder route. Check ahead of time with who ever is running the event, they will / should know.

I got them too. But the diff and joined driveshafts are 2 weakest links
