So basically the outers were not in and the hubs came apart while driving?
Holy CRAP! I can say that I HAVE done some thing like this before. I was going out to Gilmer a few months ago and forgot to tighten the rear lug nuts. Of course the same situation..people buggin let's go let's go and just forgot. Well the rear wheel came off at the entrance to the park!!LOL!!
Good luck getting it back together. This would be a good time to convert to WJ brakes though....
You always have to look at it as an opportunity to upgrade!
Yup, the outers have a taper in the spline that holds the wheel bearing together...I knew that, but just got distracted by shit. It happens to everyone once in a while...not usually with this catastophic of an outcome hopefully, but I'm sure we have all been there. I know I have before, and those who haven't are probably fawkin' liars, lol.
As to the upgrade, yea, I'm thinking WJ upgrade (my wheels are small though), Off Road East knuckles and custom high steer, or a tera flex knuckle and custom rods. Not sure yet, like I said...I'm taking a day or two off from it. It's up on blocks and I'm playing PS3...enough for this weekend, lol. Enjoy!
The front fell off!
That blows man!! Perfect excuse for upgrades though!! the best lessons are learned the hardway, lol.
HAHAHA! inside joke:

Thread HI-JACK: as in Texas Gilmer?
Damn Dirty that is some carnage, but at least you can laugh it off! nice pics too!
Yea, I was going to feel all bad about it...and kinda pretend I was a victim of some sort with everything going wrong and all unfair and shit. But, then I remembered that I'm not a butt hurt liberal hoping for change...or changing for hope?...so I rolled up my sleeves and started fixing that shit.
It looks like it is bowing down. haha
I know right.
Here is some more stupidity carnage...
Both knuckles look about the same...tore the caliper brakets right off. Probably because I hit the brakes like a girl when I felt shit hitting the fan.
I'm sure this will be a hoot to tear apart.
Off with my beef factory steering...
Sometimes I forget how much long arms flex...wow.
Lonely 3-link long arms...
Another testimate to Kevin's stuff...it's (trackbar) the only thing on my dirty-30 that is still in decent shape. Having a hell of a time getting a wrench inside the axle side mount to get it off though. I may have bent something along the way.
Oh well, not really anything neat to see here, more of a journal entry for me as a testimate to stupidity.
If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough.
well done!! Love the sheered caliper mounting ears on the knuckles, classic. I probably would have hit the brakes too, who wants to nose dive into the ground doing 30 MPH?
here ya go dirty! i made you your own motivational poster!!!
here ya go dirty.
