I have the shell of an automatic hub, if your innards are still good. Are you interested, or were you running manuals?

Mud Bug 94 · 04-08-2007, 11:57 PM

look like manuals...

**DeRocha** · 04-09-2007, 12:37 AM

Ouch... did you have a spare or limp home in 3wd?

Was that a Warn hub.

CheapThrillEX · 04-13-2007, 08:42 AM

yes those were warn hubs, yes that is my desktop now,

no limping i have a locker up frt so why stop wheeling??
its only bearing grease and we were close to the cabin we were staying at and i trailored it, so it didn't need to drive home

CheapThrillEX · 04-17-2007, 09:46 AM

well went to a local mud bog this past weekend and grenaded another hub and my inner right axle shaft/ joint, i also have noticed that my TTB brackets must be bent. The pass. beam is touching the diff on the side and rubbing it.

CheapThrillEX · 04-17-2007, 09:47 AM

it could have been worse, my truck could break like this guys did.

**DeRocha** · 04-17-2007, 06:30 PM

nice pics

so how did the guy with the

"Twin Rear Axle" get out and home?

So how do most people react when you show up to wheel an Explorer? Around my neck of the woods people look at me like I have 2 heads...of course after they see the capabilities of the X I get their respect..

CheapThrillEX · 04-17-2007, 07:03 PM

yeah they react about the same, not to many see guys wheelin an explorer on 36's and 10+ inches of lift, i love the reaction escp. from the Wrangler crowd when i go over or past the obstacles they can't (esc. the $30K+ rubicons)

sundays hub failure

its hard to see, but the pass beam contact the diff and has worn down the vein on the outside of the diff
