    Drove down I80 in 4WD all of the sudden I hear noise like gears are slipping, kinda like half neutral thing. In 4WD (full time) I have barely any power so either front diff or tcase. Driving in 2WD every now and again i get a noticeable thunk. I don't really have any decent tools with me even forgot the stupid bottle jack at home. Is anyone frpm MC nearby? If you wanna see exactly where I am gp to http://tinyurl.com/26tls6s. I'm gonna pull front shaft and try to press on towards Denver but if it may grenade any moment. So on an off chance I need help bad. Cell 646-247-7962

    I just looked through all of the waivers to see if anybody else might be coming through that way and the only ones that aren't already further west are the guys from Iron Rock. Not sure how they're heading out here, but if they're going 35->80 they'll be in Omaha sometime tomorrow.


    EDIT: PM sent to the IRO guys with a link to this thread.

I'm heading towards Denver and what needs to hapen I need someone with few tools and space to open the front diff and tcase to see what can be done. Gps tells me 600 miles. Hopefully I won't get stranded on the way. Oh and yes this sux monkey balls.

    No can do. Can't jack the truck up. And theres no telling if it is front, rear or the case. Most likely the case judging from the sound it made on the highway. Plus like i said i have shit for tools. Anyhoo. The thunk is still there and it is getting worse. I've pulled into a motel and try to figure out how the fuck am I gonna get home. Needless to say GSW is over for me. If the guys from IRO coome thru and mayne could help me out in whatever capacity I'll be grateful. Position on map. Otherwise I'll be lookin for a hobo with some wrenchrs.

    Adam, there is a trailer repair place at the end of the block from where you're at that might have some tools to get you going. There's also a Tractor Supply Company (plenty of tools to buy there) nearby, go south on 24th to Veteran's Memorial Hwy and hang a left, it looks like it's on the right just past Exwy St.

    Thx Dave and Sudz, good tips. I'm just pissed and can't even think straight. First an 18 wheeler almost tips over on top of me @60mph, then I drive right thru the middle of that fucking storm and freak out cause weather alert system says 'Seek shelter immediately' and it's impossible to see tornadoes in pitch black, and then when that fails to make a dent fucking Jeep calls it quits in the middle of fucking nowhere.

    cross posted to Nagca. I know there are some midwesterners over there. I believe one of our mods is from Omaha, and I've sent him a message.

    Someone from NAGCA is putting it up on the local 4x4 boards. That ought to get to the right people.....
