Speaking of dumb, "Hey I just rolled this thing on the driver's side, here are some pictures of me, minutes later, wheeling with my left arm hanging out the window"
Hope you are a "righty", otherwise you social life is going to go to shat... :flipoff2:
aw it aint that hard to get your arm in the window when you start going over
x2 on what he said, and with my windshield being as cracked as it was I was having to pull an ace ventura.

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

Hip hip hooray! :DQuote:

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:

My vote is still on Chris's fat ass foot :flipoff2:
so when you going tons or portals?
Well Bobby just called, turns out the birf the guy sold with my diamond axle was NOT a LONGFIELD. I am hacked. I went back to find the thread that the guy made about my axle and sure enough he was a mod and deleted it. Chalk one up to getting fawked by someone on a forum.
Luckily a new longfield birf is ~$200 and he said my inner axle looks like a custom Poly Performance 300M and Bobby doesn't think it will break. Here's to hoping.
What forum? What screen name posted it? Google may have a cache of the thread.
Unleash the Pirates!
trail-mart
It was TTORA, but I can't for the life of me remember the screen name. :mad:Quote:

if they're 30spl and they're not bobby's they must be trailmarts. Luckily:
"In fact, we feel so confident about the quality of these Dirty 30’s that we are offering them with a no questions asked lifetime warranty."
Maybe you can get Bobby to send yours directly to them? :D

maybe you should place an order for one of these while you're talking to Bobby

and keep the trailmart replacement as a spare for when the other side pops :flipoff2:
So did Trail-Mart take care of you?
