CARNAGE!! Let's See Your Best Breaks & Trail Damage

[Trail Bud]

More breaks

We need a second thread for all Doug's breaks

Chris, Your so hard on me.

I've been following this thread. It took me a few days to get a few pics together. I'm sure there's some of you have more of my carnage. I had breaks for 4 years until I built up enough.
Here's the pics.

Broke 4-5 of these. This one is on the Metal Masher in Moab (thanks eddie).

1st axle. The break is at the knot in the belt. I used this same belt on the 2nd break.

Front drive line

Transfer case. I went through 3 of them.

2nd axle, broke on the Rubicon. Eddie welded it I finished the trail, drove home to LA and went for 2 more weeks before replacing it.

2nd axle break like the 1st.

Track bar mount tore off the mount 2 times.


There's more too..... :crazyeyes:

View attachment 8330

Was that the Rubicon? I think that might have been from Metal Masher...

:crazyeyes:

 

[wayoflife]

Found it, this one was just before we were about to leave for the Rubicon...

:crazyeyes:

There's another one.
I think Carl did that one so I had to ride with him on the trail.

I think you have a curse. Haha

I did too after awhile. I'm better now.

Doug after looking at those pics you posted, I deleted mine. Lol.

I just play a little too hard sometimes. Somebody said a crack habit would be cheaper.

:cheesy: you know, i could have but, i liked the idea of feeding this thread with new material from time to time

thank god things have improved. :beer:

Loved these wheels when I saw them at 2011 SEMA. They don't look so pretty anymore.

Me thinks some beadlocks with a rock ring are in the future.

And all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Trail Bud's transfer case back together again. Just found a few more pics of this :shock: :crazyeyes:

This was a long time ago - front driveline ceased up at the double cardan.

Unfortunately these all happen this weekend trip near Yuma I guess it's true, bad things do come in 3.

 

[JKBANDIT55]

Lol TrailBud is always breaking stuff in WOL's earlier videos. Haven't seen him on a video in a while.

Holy crap Nick! What happened in #3?

Man that sucks! I guess they all suck! :doh:

Looks like 3 missing wheel bolts... Did that happen while you were driving?

Oh man, bummer. I knew about the wheel from FB but didn't know about the hard top. I'm guessing you had a great time on the trail? :crazyeyes:

:crazyeyes:

Your right Metal Masher, too many breaks in too many places.

Lost a wheel going down the highway coming back from Yuma on Monday evening. Most likely a loose lug nut or 2. I'm up and running again had Pro Gear in SD check out my axle shaft, replaced rotor and brake pads.

LOL The Narrows in Un Name wash got a little too narrow.

Oh one more pic, my rotor after skidding to a stop with no wheel.

 

[piginajeep]

its a good thing you had the flex....

How fast were you going?

Wow, that totally sucks. You may want to give your axle flange a look. Running through tight narrows can bend it - might even be what lead to your failure. Glad that you're okay and nobody got hurt.
