Default I'm back from my 1,584.8 mile trip(with problems)

Wassup everybody! Didnt know where to post this so I posted here to show some pics of the trip. I went back home in Mexico for 3 weeks, hell of a time, wish I could remember most of it.

CHECK IT OUT while I was there the bolt in the middle of the leaf springs broke off and the rear diff was all f%$#ed up, well, not too f%$#, the driver rear tire sliped back and was rubbing on the bed and the passenger tire moved towrad the passernger side. ALSO I think this happened before the bolt broke but the ABS and BRAKE! light in the dash would sometimes stay on after turning the truck on. I thought it was because the diff but we fixed that and the ABS and BRAKE! still stays on sometimes. WHAT COULD THIS BE???

HERE ARE SOME PICS

Me just chillin'


My cuzz drankin' it up

Damn, holy molly lucky it wasnt any worse on that long trip. I would guess the bolt was rusted and wore out before it crapped out. Just simple wear and tear can cause somethings just to f&*! up! Or if you do some offroading the bolt might've given out and it was a matter of time before it snapped off.

Looks like ya'll were havin a good'un just drinkin' some virongas!!
