Well one trip to Clayton was apparently all my Longfields could take. finally got time to visit my truck and tear apart the passenger side of my axle. I don't think it is supposed to look like this...
I think this stuff

All of the above I am sure at some point in time. :p Live and learn. I have twin sticks, and need to learn to use them in Reverse and low low.:)Quote:

Correct, bad dudes. Actually it popped twice when I had to make a 15 point turn when I went down something that was a dead end. I think I had wheels at full lock and in reverse and thought I had brought it out of 4 wheel drive but I guess I hadn't. Got out of the spot and realized my right front passenger tire wasn't spinning.Quote:

yeah i bet that you over steered them, you should check your steering stops.
they are tested beyond what the turning capabilities of the axle are. it would be impossible to over steer them. there is an ump teenth discussion about this on pirate arguing about longs and dirty thirties.
the **** broke. how much does this truck weigh again?
I dunno? stock curb weight was 3400 lbs. Add 100 lbs per wheel, another 50 lbs in T-Case, another 500 lbs in front axle, bumper and winch, not to mention **** hanging on the back. I would put it up there btw 4500 and 5000 lbs if I had to guess.Quote:
