Re: Sideways Saturday
Some uninsured POS darted out into traffic when he couldn't see. Of course he hit someone and that person hit me. I was the innocent random victim sitting in traffic waiting for a traffic light to change.
The impact bent the axle tubes. One additional benefit of having large tires.  I'd bet if I'd had 750-16's on the back, they would have slid sideways and the axle would have survived.

Re: Sideways Saturday

Well your Burban it may have been sitting but it's been a dry sit. And your construction looks to be coming along. Is that the new shop

Yeah, Tucson is where the Air Force parks its mothballed planes, so rust monsters are well away. Packrats have packed the engine bay. The cabin is rat-free, but I've been stuffing anything long and flat that I thought needed keeping in the back, so it would be a big project. New engine, transmission/ transfer case, rear-end, front axle conversion to Disc Brake + Power Steering, new wheels and tires, interior sests, panelling. I want a flush-folding 40/60 second seat. Maybe electric drive for windows 3 and 4. Fronts are fine with cranks. Not too many dings in the body. 454 core - not rebuilding a BBC w/ $3.31/Gal gas. The 12 Bolt 3.73 Auburn Posi rear, is currently under my '71 GMC Jimmy. Not sure what engine? A Lump-Ported 292 L6 bored to 301'', with Turbo is the dream. A crate 350 would get it rolling. It's resting on the GMC's diff, an Eaton posi that I blew up. Dreams are free, reality costs more that it looks.
