Today I began moving from Colorado Springs, CO, to toyah tx,

I say began because I made it to new Mexico

By the way I hate New Mexico, it's a sad place.

Well I got all the way to Vaughn New Mexico, and for those who don't know (everyone tbh) vaughn is about 5 hours from toyah tx.
Seven miles out of vaughn, my jeep decided to throw the BIGGEST most CRAZY UNCONTROLLABLE tantrum.
I got crazy death wobble.
In the dark, 7 miles from a tiny town and 90 miles from everything else.
I spent thirty minutes using my phone as a flashlight and holding my handgun(new mexico)
Finally a wonderful state police officer came over, introduced himself, complimented the fact I was armed(I'm a almost 20 year old girl wearing three inch platform sneakers) and escorted me back to vaughn after trying to find the source of my deadly death wobble(closest guess is driveshaft coming apart)
Now I'm sipping coffee in a 24 hour diner and debating on a hotel room for the evening.

Be safe and I hope its nothing serious with your jeep. I have 3 girls under the age of 8. Every day is eventful!

Let us know what the issue ends up being. I hope you get it resolved!

Sounds like you had an eventful Halloween. We just ended up taking the kids Trick or Treating.

My universal joint fell out someplace. Currently trying to macgyver it so I can limp home.

One of the universal joints in the driveshaft? Fortunately that's pretty easy to fix.
 
Oh yeah, if it had happened right next to an autozone or something similar you'd be in luck! Hopefully he gets something rigged up!
