Had to get a flatbed to give me a ride home about 3 weeks ago, my half shaft broke in half.

I am lucky enough to have a solid plate under my nose below the oil cooler opening. So I hooked the chain up on the back half of the frame and the chain ran out right under the steel plate (just how the frame and body mount). However I did purchase a tow strap and plan to find a better way of hooking the strap to the frame in case I ever have to do it again. I am sure the strap will cause less damage then their chains if they make contact. Adding a couple of tow hooks to the frame would work great if I can find the right place.

A 4X4 used as a ramp that the driver had really helped out in getting the nose up.

Good think at least you problem is an easy fix and nothing major. It would be nice if you had enough shaft to get a pin through to make sure it never slides odd again even if you loose the set screw.

Good Luck..

Jim
