Boy.. these improvised repairs bring back memories.
My step brother was one of those guys that liked to go 'mud' his truck. on more than one occasion he's blow the bolts out of a drive shaft flange or soemthing similar. i can remember having to remove 2 of the botls from the front shaft to put inthe back shaft flange.. so we could still use 4x4 low and crawl out o fthe mud, and then put the other 2 bolts in the rear and use a coat hanger to hold up the front short shaft and get home .. etc.
Have done the thing where you rob a lugnut off the other 3 wheels to replace 3 of the 4 you just lost when you set the 4 in the hubcap on the side of the road and some guy nearly sideswipes you and the hubcap and nuts go flying everywhere...
