Security & Survival / BUG OUT VEHICLE
« Last post by pkveazey on Today at 02:05:45 PM »Oh, no!! I have a large SUV, V8, 4WD and this morning the damned thing dropped a drive shaft. I've heard of people dropping a drive shaft, but I'd never seen it happen. Thank goodness I was in my driveway. I knew there was a problem, but I didn't know what was causing a vibration. I was turning the SUV around in my driveway so it would be facing out when all of a sudden, I got nothing. I drove my car up to a mechanic friends' business and told him what happened, and he told me to bring it in and he could fix it. Then I went to towing buddy's business and paid them a reasonable towing fee to pick it up and drop it at my mechanic friend's shop. I grabbed some guy wire cable out of my shed and lifted the drive shaft up so the towing guy would be able to haul it onto a rollback truck. While I was under there, I noticed that I need to have both Swingarms are rusted out and I'll have them replaced while it's in the shop. Hmmm.... He said he would be here after lunch but its 2PM and so far, no show. Well, it ain't going no place until he comes anyway.
