In a time crunch, drove without the header panel on the windshield thinking it was mostly cosmetic. Realized it held the front of the T-panel in place after it bent straight back...Originally Posted by nkemp

No it was on a road in South Dakota. Ended up in the
ditch. Back on the road two hours later. I had replaced
the u-joint three years earlier and failed to put the coupling
on far enough so the pinch bolt was in front of the shaft
instead through the groove. I did make a trip to Vegas in
the mountains during that time.....

Put on new tires (replacing the 20+ year old ones), Flushed brake fluid and replaced all the brake pads. What a difference!
