    Sounds like the TOD decided to stay back with that growing family.... Dragon Ironman.... don't make me laugh.

    JK, definitely post any findings. That is a pretty new one around here, as many folks would actually LOVE to have a RWD VX, heh. Good luck.

    Wrench

    This exact thing happened to me while wheelin last time. My CV joint blew in half. There was no weird noises or clicking or anything, because the cage that surrounds the balls on the joint just blew apart. For a quick fix I just took out the CV and now am running 2wd and getting a ton better gas mileage. I have a newly rebuilt CV and CV cup/short shaft ready to go in as soon as I have the time. Good luck I should post some pics soon on this.
