Only, I was driving the Navajo by Tank Trap at hollister, and it did this:

Guess it's just scared to death thinking I was going to take it back in there. :D :D All I wanted to do was play some on the obstacle course. (I did however walk tank trap, to see just how nasty it is. I should of done that in the first place..)

Anyway, this happened on the same side that blew the hub. It also happened in 4hi, almost immediately after hitting the button. Made a bad noise, but no real loud bangs (until I turned.. and then it started to bang).

Drive shaft is sitting the IFS arm.

I'm hoping it's just u-joint, and not the knuckles. That would get expensive fast, having to replace those parts..

At least it did this before I hit the rubicon, and not on the 'con.
 






That does not look good there buddy. I cant tell too much but That is not a cheap fix. The U-joint in there costs about $20.00 on its own. Hope your Shafts are not damaged.
 






Yikes!

Got a better look at it today.

The inner half has the knuckles snapped off.

I'm hoping this isn't going to be too expensive to fix. Might have to go to a junk yard..
