CARNAGE GALLERY
It is so hard to justify spending money on maintaining your truck huh? And yes, Alex was driving this around in his 1987 Blazer for quite a while. Believe it or not it never broke....
In Case You Were Wondering What Was Inside Of A G-80....

This was the root cause of the G80 locker failure. The thrust block split in half and took everything out with it.
Not The Ideal Situation But It Did Get Us Home....Late. We Removed The 2 Pinion Gears And Drove Home In 4x4
We Took A Used Open Carrier And Installed A New Spider Gear Set. Total Cost For The Repairs Was Around $35.
Heavy right foot and a little misplaced traction caused this. I saw sparks flying when it happened
The Cross itself was not damaged at all. We think that one of the caps got spit out and hit the lower ball joint.
This time from an 86 Camry. Scott sure knows how to break tranny's! The pinion pin broke into 3 pieces and the spiders along with one side gear flew out.
Wallowed out carrier.
Something from the differential got wedged between the carrier and the housing and punched a nice hole through the housing.
I dedicate this picture to the misinformed employees of Jeff's Bronco Graveyard who adamantly refuse to believe that mainshaft's don't strip out. Here ya go guys.
This is from a 99 Ranger. Some jackass at an apartment complex caused a bent tie-rod along with some body damage as they ran into the parked truck. They didn't leave a note but they left us some yellow paint...

It was time for a new grill anyway.

Even the radiator took a beating. Unbelievably, it doesn't leak.
What's left of the headlight.
All this carnage from a sheet of ice.
This is what I found when I pulled the tranny out. The sleeve broke, ground down and reasembled as is. Not sure what the previous owner was thinking.
NP 435 mainshaft lined up with the NP 205 input.
The piston is completely seized. That would explain why it was getting a little hard to steer.
