I just bought an 83 gl wagon, I brought it home and on the way home down in the Nisqually valley there is an area near the river so my friend and I went into the trails and swampy areas. he is in a 05 jeep wrangler and im in my 22 year old wagon, and he got stuck, we used his wench and got out. On the drive home I lost power and hear metel spinning. I pull off to the side and relized that I broke an axle. So I popped it into 4wd and got it home. Took 2 hours to replace it. So I owned the car for less than 2 hours and I broke it:headbang:
BTW 214,000 miles everything but the engine is OEM. The engine was swapped out with an EA81 that has hydro lifters about 7 months ago.
I am looking forward to getting a lift in a month or so and really show up my buddy's jeep :headbang:
