Default Drive shaft

Heard a clicking while wheeling over the weekend. Didn't think too much about it. After all - it was faint and I was having fun.

I stopped to drop g/f off at RV and headed back out and noticed it substancially louder. Had buddies listen as I slowly creeped forward.

They saw my driveshaft had pulled away from the front diff. I lost 2 bolts and the other 2 were backed out at lease 3/4 of the way. I crawled under, and (with my fingers) tightedned back then took a ratchet to it to snug up.

Keep an eye on this with yours.

Sounds like an excuse for a driveshaft upgrade!
