haha right on dude,

 

that sucks dude, hope its not too much damage. a customer of mine had that happen on her blazer, but her caliper brackets kept the axles from coming out... good luck on repairs

 

WOW....That's one of the craziest things that I have ever seen!

 

i love the tires, but they are really soft



i would send it right out to you but it got a hole in it...



now all i need to do is find another axle, i would like an 8.8 but anything will work for now, any sugg. on what else to get, i need it asap

 

just take the axle out of your other ranger for now.

 

If it were me... I'd take the time to find a 31spline exploder axle with 4.10 gears and disc brakes... Then just SOA and you're good to go... Sucks what happened though man!

 

Dang man! I've never seen or heard of that happening before, well maybe on a cheap Matchbox car...

 

i got my new 8.8 today, i sandblasted it and painted it, ill post pics tomorrow, and ill post some of my old 7.5...

 

be lucky it didnt happen in the woods. We had a kid break the shaft on his ranger on a trail with a couple rock faces left to go to get out. It took us a couple hours to get him out.

 

sorry but my comp broke, heres the new axle






and the old 7.5

 

wow that sucks!

got to love full floater axles :)

 

i really need to upgrade mine before something like that happens to mine

 

yup, just as i suspected, the cross pin broke.

the 7.5 comes from the factory with a notched cross pin and it the weakest link in the axle.

i would suggest anyone that builds up a 7.5 puts a solid hardened cross pin in it.

 

At first I was like: WTF? Why does he have the wheels off and two jacks holding the truck up on the side of the road... Then I realize your tires werent sitting up and down and thoes were axle shafts.

That is dangerous. It could have easily totaled the truck and/or killed someone.
