I took advantage of a couple of deals including a rebate from Yukon to upgrade the D44 with a pair of SOLID Axle Industries Forged 6 on 5.5 Bolt Pattern Hubs

As some of you know the 1310 U-Joint and/or strap in my front driveshaft failed last time I was out and like an idiot I had no spare.

Since I had no plan to wheel soon and wasn’t expecting any snow in Brooklyn I decided (with encouragement from friends I know and trust) to upgrade rather than replace.

My friend Dave from Bandit4x4 sourced a flange (forged 5140 material) from “Parts Mike” to replace the 1310 Yoke on my D44

and got the 1310 Yoke on the driveshaft changed to a 1330 Cardan at “Mr. Driveshaft”.

Looks pretty beefy!

The only trouble I had with this upgrade was finding “standard hardware”.

In present day Brooklyn such things do not readily exist. What a pain. :bang:

Anyways it’s on and I’m hoping to get some revenge on the uphill “Black” section at the end of trail “13” at Rausch that took the MF'er out in a month or so.

Thanks for looking, hope to see you on the trails sometime soon! beer1

Haven't been to this thread in a bit so:

On the recommendation of mtnbiker49 in this thread I purchased a Midland MXTTB MicroMobile® GMRS two-way radio. and hard wired it in the truck.
It was a great deal (no longer available). Radio. Mount with Hardware, Detachable Antenna with Magnetic Mount, Microphone, Microphone Holder, 12V Power Cord with Car Power Adapter and FREE LXT500 Walkies! $100!

Walkies are great outside of the truck but I wanted a mobile to go with my CB so while I’m in the truck I could talk to the more popular handheld FRS without having one bouncing around or hooked in some unreachable and/or cumbersome spot.
It fit nicely bolted on top of my little out of production Cobra 19Ultra III CB.

I haven’t had it out on the trail yet but it seems to work okay around Brooklyn.

Tom, can you steal the antenna from the CB? Or maybe find a Y adapter to use the same antenna for both radios?

Are you sure? Or do you just like telling me no?

hahaha..... no.

But great job with the drive shaft, and CB setup!

Although I must admit finding great satisfaction in telling you “no” I believe that, in this case, it is an appropriate response.

Thanks Derick. beer1
