Is THIS why Toyota stopped making the full floating rear axle?
 

Sorry guys, I am just, very, very disheartened over this.

So last night I was backing my RV, stock 22R engine (92 HP) and a gutted interior with a wirefeed welder, a small fridge, and my toolbox. In other words, not overloaded.

I hear a pup and crunch, like i hit a wall. (I am inches from each side and it's dark, so it's possible.) So i put it in first and pull forward, and it goes a little ways, then acts like the clutch is slipping. It gets seriously sluggish and then just stops moving.

I get out, thinking I just blew my (Brand new Sachs) clutch, and am glad it happened here and not on the road.

But today, I go to pull the motor (I want to put a 4x4 trans in anyway) and I happened to look at an oil spot on my rim, then I look up at the center hub, and yeah. There's the problem.

When I drove up here 800 miles ago, I was carrying 8 times the weight in the RV, and both hubs were barely warm to the touch. Now it blows out backing into it's spot here with almost no weight, and the stock engine.

Does anyone know where I can get an axle shaft for the 1 ton rearend? This is my only transpo.
