OHHH SUNUVA !!!! How the hell did I miss this thread. I coulda hadda a ton fun of with this one.
BUT, as soon as I seen the pic, I said, uh oh, I'd be checking for cracked out frame, broken steer box ears or loose bolts. Look at the friggin angle !!! And so I read on, then see about the threesome etc. I just about thought Ray was making excuses not to go. Prolly cuz he was afraid Retro was gonna ****** him. LMAO Then Foamy is going to make it a threesome, and C4 throws in a hardened shaft into the mix and 89S wants to come too. OMG !!!
So anyway, is it fixed yet??? I hate missing threads.

I'll come get you around 12:30 on saturday, and if we finish up early we can head out to the LKQ in Austin.
I edit the time because my dear wife remind me I have a class to assist from 9-12 that day!

I really don't know what or how to explain what Jay did, but he fix my square.
I know he work twice as much because the spindle on the gear box was a little larger than the one for the jeep upgrade part it was going to go in...
He should be able to explain more in detail what exactly happen, I was just watching him and trying to help him any way I could.
He did put hope on my square after he drove around the block, he said it sound pretty good and it felt really good.
Thanks a lot Jay, I really apreiated your time and your knowledge.

Sounds like he might have had to open up the clamp and possibly use a longer bolt to get it to work. 
He said it's a bigger diameter.
