It happens when you least expect it

Whilst going across a sand track shortcut on the way home the young brickie towing my tandem trailer (as he was doing some work on the weekend) loaded followed me thinking he could as I go that way every day in the fender towing the trailer on 40psi tyres.
OOPs Hilux 3lt Diesel traybacks dont tow well in the sand.:p

reverse up hitch up the snatch and pull him and the trailer out:) but when my rears hit the bitchumen :censored: *BANG*, grinding metal was to be heard.
after investigation the rear right axle had shred its splines in the drive flange/member..Home we go in diff lock high:mad:

Being replaced this weekend with Maxi drive axles and Flanges all round, should make a we difference...($1600)...great Friday huh?

Anyone using those Ashcroft hard core CV's..if so where and how much?

So you could buy about 15 of the $65 ones advertised on ebay a week or so ago for the same price.

That's a lot of snapped CVs.

MMMMM thats my thought too. But the only advantage is the time saved in a comp to changing them

But they rarely break in the convenience of your own workshop.. the novelty wears off on a trip after changing one or two.

Yep I've got the Ashcrofts. Hopefully fit & forget. So far so good.

Were you running standard size tyres when this happened?

If so, guess it's time not to buy the cheapies.

Better go grab a stubbie before you open this link Dawg, a tad expensive.
