Damn John, fawkin killed it this weekend haha. Those are some weird stub breaks. I'd be looking into what would cause a failure like that, for curiosity's sake.

It must've been a part breakin weekend for everyone. I was at the badlands all weekend and a wrangler I was wheelin with broke a shock and track bar mount, I broke a lockout (Warn "premium", replaced at camp), ran into Kyle M. and he toasted his slave cyl. (pulled trans and replaced at camp), broke a d35 stub shaft (replaced at camp), and dented and bent his rear driveshaft (driving 6hrs home in front wheel drive :D).

I was there with 3 people on bikes/quads. Hit a rock with the quad, broke the lower a-arm, and one of the bikes seized up 2 hrs later.

Hell of a weekend.
 
I will have some spicer 35 spline stubs by the end of the day today. Just need some drive flanges now.
 
Hopefully these will last a bit longer then the 15 year old stock ones did.........when you think about it, I have wheeled on those stock stubs now for almost a full year on 38's and 4d's and wheeled hard. Plus, when I bought that 60 the prior owner obviously was pretty hard on it considering the pinion was broken clean at the yoke. So those stockers have seen there use.

Hah, I always enjoy watching your wheeling vids, but I wonder how the hell you bent that shock like that? Some sort of side force while it was compressing?

We are going to Bundy Hill tomorrow. Have a few going with less built rigs then your is, you should tag along :icon_bounceblue: Its about 204 miles round trip from my house.
 
Well finally got the new stubs in, what a PITA. Had to trim 5/8" off the end of the stubs to fit in the ford hub. But then the lockout bottomed out on the stub shaft before sliding on the way into the hub so I couldn't install the outer c-clip. Tried the wider bearing race on the inside of the hub but that still didn't give me enough. So I had to file the splines deeper down the length of the stub. Now everything fits together.

Also have to give a big to Automasters in GR. I bought my skyjacker shocks last year from them and I had two that developed leaks. I stopped in there and they warrantied both shocks with NO hassle. I have bought lots of shocks from lots of places, and every time I have ever tried to get them warrantied for any reason I was always met with bs and hassle and excuses and was never taken care of. It was nice to get it taken care of easily. I had planned to get a new 3" downpipe for the turbo on my 97 powerstroke from an online vendor, but after they took care of me on the shocks I had them order it up through them as well as a dual gauge "A" pod for a future pyrometer and trans temp gauge.

Alright, I have been trying to get ahold of some spare parts, So far i have a set of exploder hubs and cvs, u-joints, 8.8 axle shafts, i need to find a 33x12.50 spare, driveshaft(s), I want to try and find a smaller toolbox to put in the back in between the roll/light bar to hold all the stuff but I haven't found anything worthwhile. gotta drive this thing home afterall :icon_thumby:
