    Remeasured from the front of my IFS skid and got 13 1/4" in the front and about 13 at the back. ???

    Rear diff remained the same.


    Measured my tires BFG ATs at 34 psi with no load on them and maybe 10k on them, 35.2"

    Toyo MT with 40 psi no load maybe 5/32 - 7/32 tread left 34.5

    Couldn't find our cloth tape so used rope and it stretched a little so I guessed about how much it stretched so my numbers aren't exact.

    When was this?

    Seen more balljoint and wheel stud failures out of these Toyotas than I particularly care for.

    Yeah, that's why I ask. I don't remove my tires more than typical but shit, regular rotations = once or twice yearly.

    Plus us wheelers stress everything a bit more with our pastime...

    Glad everyone's OK. What's the damage list? I assume the brake drum is FUBAR?

    Well at least it can all be replaced in a couple hours once you get the parts. That's a plus. Again, glad no one was hurt.

    i'll post up pics showing the sheared studs..usually if a wheels comes off just because it was not properly torqued the studs will still be intact on the axle shaft
