Lean pop? NOPE! Boom http://static.photobucket.com/player...215_105419.mp4
So me and a friend "guywiththegto" go for a ride in his 06 goat with bolt ons. He pulls over on the highway and decided to rip it up from a dig. He rolls back into the highway and 86'd the dig and killed it from a roll.
He was rowing the gears and we heard a boom! I thought it leaned out...
Well, the steering wheel started shaking, bad.
Snapped a drive shaft bolt! All of em were loose. The two remaining through the flexible coupling were loose and the other three were loose as well.
What a day

Ya, that would have been interesting! Nothing major, just sheared one bolt. Put in a same size bolt, but the wrong grade. Its only temporary until he gets oe bolts or at least some grade 10.9
He had the rear end replaced because it scattered. A couple months later he got a strange vibration and one drive shaft bolt was missing. So he replaced it with a non OE bolt because the dealer couldn't get them.... Long story short, that's the bolt that snapped.
This was up near Attleboro on 95 south I believe. He lives down that way I live up here.
