BOOOM!!!

CRAP!!





at least i was in my own driveway

 

Wow that is something I have never seen before

 

Surely you weren't surprised when that happened...

 

I take it you're running longfields. Nice to see the 5.29's teeth held up.

 

i was surprised that it broke there, i figured that i just would take the teeth off the pinion, which may have happened anyway
its possible that i did shear a tooth off which got bound up in the ring/pinion and BAM, i guess that its better to break in the driveway vs. the trail

 

yes, but just the treated ringed stockers

 

Quality carnage...

 

Call me a noob, but what's a front dig?
Is that one of those "NW" terms?

 

So...














What's a front dig?????????

 

front dig...

when one shifts there twin sticked transfer case to front wheel drive (low range) in order to pull the front end. (usually to make a hard turn were you dont want the back end PUSHing you forward

 

And I thought I was hardXcore!!!

 

so its somewhere between crossing a ditch and front wheel drive?

 

You too huh? The front wheel drive thing makes more sense to me.

 

So I was wrong...

Sorry guys.

 

Very impressive.

 

cool carnage...

 

Important note: This is not possible w/ the Toy t-case w/o a rear shaft disconnect or Marlin's new prototype tcase... Not sure when Marlin's kit is coming out, but it'll be cool.

SuperJoe - what are you running for a tcase?

 

If anyone could elaborate for the noob...how come this is happening. As far as I understand, you are using FWD in low gear, so the shaft is spinning fast, but why would it break especially on a drive way?

Also, how does having a shaft disconnect cause this? And how does the prototype case help avoid that?

 

my rear shaft was out of the truck, 2nd gear low=boom

here are some more pics, i did in fact loose some teeth





that brown stuff on the teeth is just some dirt from my fingers

 

not quite
