Dont buy gas on september 3rd!
I had a buddy with an F150 4x4 with 6" of lift and 38's that kept throwing rear u-joints. He took out the rear and drove around for almost a month on the front shaft (auto transmission, too). He was working up north and was driving 120 miles round-trip every day at 70-75mph. The front shaft finally let go, broke pretty much everything it could come in contact with (including his foot). Took out the oil pan, cracked the block, broke a big chunk out of the t-case (bigger than yours), knocked a hole in the transmission housing, took out the brake lines front and rear, beat a hole through the floorboard and took out the brake and accelerator pedals (that's when it broke his foot), broke the shock and mount, and the shrapnel from one of the above took out both rear tires and put a hole in the gas tank. He was an idiot, can't believe I actually called him a friend at one point. He ended up ripping me off one night while I was at work and I haven't spoken to him since (though a couple of friends beat the money back out of him for me). He's currently serving time for meth distribution.
