[schanusa]

shitty... how much damage other then the spindle

Spindle, rotor, bearings, brake caliper, brake line, caliper bracket, bent fender and all the parts in between.

I slowed down as the steering started feeling funny. I looked out my window at the tire right when it snapped. So I wasn't going to fast to tear up a bunch of other stuff.

nice, what is it? D30 or D44?

D30. Yeah, I know not a strong as a D44. The D30 works for what I need and is much stronger than the 3/4 inch spindles.

i'm a fan of dana 30 swaps. i wouldnt swap one out for a D35 TTB, but if you're wanting to swap out a D28 or make a 2wd a 4wd, i say go for it. they've proven that they can handle larger tires and moderate HP and torque. keep the pics coming
