This is what jeep avoids by using a solid front axle. I think of all my old trucks, jeeps, FJ40, scouts and even older bronco's. A broken front axle would of never occurred to me to even be a risk.....
BS..... I owned three scout II's ( all 345 v8s as I recall ) they were indestructible. I even ran one out of oil after a grommet on the back of the oil pan let lose and pumped all the oil out. pulled over put the grommet back in, filled with oil and drove away. They were a simple design, easy...
If they would allow us to change settings like "ass" and "honk when you get gas" people wouldn't have to use forescan to fix STUPID decisions on their part that were clearly added for legal protections in the off case of an idiot doing an idiot thing. I've been joking every since I got mine when...
Raptor,
- 2 1/2 years
- 51k miles
- top on/off 4 times ( hangs in my garage most of the summer )
- doors off/on more times than I can remember
.....no rattles or squeaks
I really like the new design, there's no way to take off a spin on without oil running everywhere. I don't spill a drop with the cartridge. I also added a billet plug as the oil came out so fast that it would almost overflow the drain in the pan.
