No not yet. What advantage would pulling the axle out give? When I spin the wheel the drum gets visibly closer to the brake backing plate.

A little follow up: I placed an email to Alloy USA and they replied within a few hours. They are sending a replacement axle.

Oh, flanges are strait as far as I can tell.

Welp... Bent axle! :mad2: Wow, I didn't expect that! One mild trip on a brand new axle. So any guesses on if it's the brand new Alloy USA axle shaft or if it is the housing? I don't recall the axle wobbleing prior to the shaft swap. Is it possible I got a bad axle shaft? The only...

Well the locker lane change situation has been cured. That turned out to be a 20lb. differance between the tires. I must have aquired a slow leak. The axles are brand new (less then 500 miles) If the rim only has 1/8th run out as measure on the vehicle with the dial indicator...

I have a set of 35's on my Jeep. One of which wobbles noticeably as I drive. A buddy of mine pointed it out to me after a wheeling trip. I never noticed it before. The tire doesn't cause any vibration, but my Detroit locker sure seems to be locking and un-locking causing "locker lane...

If the damage/crack is visible from the outside... the outside texture wll be a b!otch to duplicate. Fiberglass repair is fairly strait forward. The toughest part is you have to damage it more before you fix it. Basically you need to rough up the edges so they are "frayed". The amount of...

That sounds just about right. My rig isn't quite up to snuff yet and we'll be packing light. (no spares ect.) Scenic would be a plus but wheeling is wheeling. GPS and or map quest would rock! Houndoc, thanks for the link. Have you driven the trail?

Does anyone know of any good Jeep trails near Bear Lake? Any info would be appreciated.

Bingo! I tried my jack again Saturday. It went up fine as usual, but when it came time to come down it didn't want to. This time there was no tilting to make things ergant. It seemed that one full movement of the arm then small movements was needed. No problems now once I figured this out...

When I flipped the switch the pins would alternate and function as it should. The problem was that is all it. It wouldn't go down. This particular incedent was with a brand new highlift that passed afore mentioned pre-test with flying colors.

Same here, during testing (buddy standing on it with beer in one hand holding the wall to balance :p ) it always works fine. (Many a hour spent doing this BTW ;) weeee) When you need it the most and it's a life or death situation...it has failed me everytime. It always jams and I can't...
