muddfildvaynes Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 So I went wheeling today and was playing around in the woods near my cousins house, started to climb the tree in a dry creek bed and right after my cousin got this flexy shot I went a little higher and blew a hub out. Luckily I have done these so many times now it only took me 30 minutes to get my spare out and put it on and we were back on the trail. I also got to a point where I could go no further (trees) and had to turn around I busted one of my 9" offroad lights on a tree. Luckily I have another so I will take pics before and after I put it on tomorrow; it is nice to see the pathy all painted again lol. all fixed what my bumper did to the tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverPath Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Carry a small electric impact drill and you can do it faster then 30 min Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madhornet Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 i have run auto hubs for 12 years and never blew one always had 8" rims with 31's or 10" with 35's and a posi up front never blew a hub strange guess i will stay away from the manual's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01silvapathy Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Was it a Warn or milemarker that broke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddfildvaynes Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) It is a MM manual hub, its better a hub blew than my cv; and I just did everything with a pair of needle nose pliars and a allen wrench bit and ratchet. alot of the time was taken up with taking lovely pictures lol and @!*% talking with my cousin.... These MM manual hubs just cant take the beating I want them to take so it is time to upgrade to Warn. And yes the tree won this one for now lol.

JamesRich Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Trucks are not for climbing trees! can't say I wouldn't have tried it too. Lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddfildvaynes Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) My truck can climb trees lol but it doesnt mean it likes it which is why it broke.... so make it stronger and climb the tree again Edited September 22, 2011 by muddfildvaynes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
