Ok, well there is not much to tell, pretty easy trip and I am at a loss to explain why I broke anything. Didn't bounce the truck once. First axel broke coming out of a mudhole, the next 2 broke while attached to a winch on soft shale.

I think I might put GQ's in it.

Here are some pics of the day, haven't pulled the diffs appart yet so will take pics when I have.

Bummer ,

Pic 4 looks like split rock rd,

That oil burner puts out a heap of torque down low !

I don't know how you managed to break that many things, especially the maxi-drive axle. Is it possible you have an early Maxi-Drive axles, with EN25 axles instead of HY-TUFF??? I know of a couple of those breaking.

Yes, pics of the broken maxi axle would be interesting :D

My rear maxi-drive I have had for 7 years and been on 4 diffrent Rangies and was probably about that age when I bought the 84 Rangie with it fitted onto (about 1998). Has had floggings with 31's and 32's and only twisted a bit at the axle end, but nothing too serious.

At the end of the day, nothings really unbreakable, just sone gear breaks much easier than others.
