yea. LOL i loosened the hub bolts and the damn hub FLEW out of that sucker

 

Someone hopped the mall curb too hard

 

The sale was too good to miss

 

Bogo or nogo

 

According to the airbag computer (it logs this stuff) they hit something (a curb) doing 40

 

Shit. That’ll do it

 

Do you have any way of knowing what kinda steel they use?

40mph tells me something should've sheared, not elongated.... but then again, I dunno ne v r. Did get no collage daygree

 

its forged steel.. thats all i know. forged tends to bend way more than cast.

 

Ooh okay! You're absolutely right between the difference, I shoulda remembered that

 

I'm learning from a Mud member that I will need to repack wheel bearings every time that I go out for a water or mud crossing.

I'm glad that I checked in on this before any real damage was done.

 

Every time? Man that would make me think twice about ever going out when it wasn't dry.

I mean I already do that just because I hate cleaning the mess but still

 

For sure. Going off-road around here means multiple mud and water crossings. That would mean staying on gravel county-maintained roads. I would give it up by then.

It may turn into for every weekend of off-roading there are two weekends of maintenance.

I can see why 100 series are popular in the middle eastern desert and out west where they can stay dry.

Tacoma and 4Runners have sealed bearings as I recall.

 

Interesting write-up from an 80 series owner in Australia about repacking wheel bearings after each water crossing. Looks like he is using marine grease.
