    I am wondering if anyone has a Jeep (preferably) Or another vehicle that has a winch on it?

    I think I just popped my Dana 35 on my jeep and I need to get it up my drive way, so I can pull the cover off and check out the damage. Problem is my drive is a little to steep to push the vehicle up!

    So if you have something with a winch or large front bumper that you do not mind pushing against my jeep let me know.

    I need my jeep off the road this weekend and in the garage.

    Thanks guys.

    hahaha yeah right. Just dawned on me I should be able to disconnect the rear Drive shaft and go up in 4wd (front wheel drive). Now i just need the rain to stop :)

    That should work. I would not be surprised if it doesnt tho. Some of those 4WD systems dont work when they are engaged and there is zero resistance on one side and 100% resistance on the other. I've seen it happen on 80's Ford/GM designs. *shrug*

    I knew a guy in high school that drove around for a month like that after he twisted the rear driveshaft on his CJ. Terrible for the truck but he needed transportation.

    also:

    I was cleaning out the garage three hours ago and found a winch cable that's been collecting dust since my off-roading days... I almost tossed it but remembered how much they cost. If you want it you can have it. PM me.
