my favorite one....
broke a 9" in half (busted housing/banjo section).....somewhere up there by Rieter (was a LONG time ago and don't really remember the details)
AAA got me to Rade's house (Lynwood?)...
pulled a D44 rear end (out of some sorta car I'm guessing, cuz it was 5 on 5") that was under a thrashed yard trailer he had sitting around...
pulled the 9", ditched the shocks, crimped the brake line, scrounged up some U-bolts....cut-off and re-welded on the spring perches, and bolted that axle in.....bolted on the dry-rotted tires that were on the trailer (cuz it was 5 on 5", we didnt' have any other tires)
locked in the hubs, and drove from north of seattle to south of Portland on the front end w/ no shocks and no rear brakes through the night....
made it home like.....4 AM or something, and to work the next morning....
the freeway just south of seatle, w/ all the fawking expansion joints every 10 feet....w/ no rear shocks and no rear brakes.....THAT sucked.....
good times.....back in teh day :beer: :beer:
