Looks like the rubber broke too

How do you think jtw got here? One look at that boy when he came out. Mom got her tubes tied!

I wonder if he has spring sag set up right and over extending/his axels making a severe angle on them. I set my spring sag at 1.5 inches.

Theres something going on. I can see one here or there. But dam

The shock will only extend to a certain point and that is not reliant upon pre-load setting.

 

[Tigermark]

How in the hell do you do this? No steering stop? We have pretty much identical set ups and I've yet to break an axel!

You don’t ride hard, gravel road boy

Spring sag is set by using a jack and raising the front and rear of the bike until the shock shaft is fully extended with the tires fully loaded with the bikes weight and tires still on the ground, take measurements, set the bike down roll it back and forth about 10 feet, take a measurement and set at 1.5 inches of spring sag with the weight you usually haul. This is a good starting point. If you run your shocks at the limits all the time you are putting your axels in a bind and will rip cvs joints out left and right!

I see what you’re saying now. You weren’t talking about overextending. You were talking about running at Max angle all the time.

Climbing a rock ledge and it hopped about half way up and pop.. I really don’t think it should have broke compared to other s*** I’ve been up and the hell I’ve given it getting there.

What brand axle was that?

 

[JTW]

I’m going to inspect and measure and check everything out before Takeover.. I’m not real sure what the issue is but s*** happens... if you ride hard long enough s*** is gunna break. You’re kidding yourself if you think it’s not. But with that said... I’m considering pulling the HL lift.. however, I think it’s gunna rub if I do.. preload is at 3/4” on the rear and 1.5” on the front. So I dunno... we’ll see

SATV... I though it was the cage that broke.. but I honesty didn’t pay any attention to it. I’ll look and see... they’re under warranty still, so f*** it! I bought them last March so this will prolly be the last warranty I get

 

[JTW]

That's a bummer. I'm guessing you probably have spares to get her back on the trail quickly though.

Lol.. yeah. It’s was just a 30 minute fix... no big deal. But I almost didn’t throw my parts box in and last minute I was like, f*** it and tossed it in.

 

[JTW]

Dammit what happened?

Broke a f***’n axle genius!

That rear A arm had weird movement after Overland if you remember, Did you ever check that out?

 

[JTW]

No steering stops... guess I forgot to put the rear steering stops in. WTF

 

[JTW]

That rear A arm had weird movement after Overland if you remember, Did you ever check that out?

Yeah.. wasn’t anything.. at least that I could find. It’s all been apart and back together so I dunno.

 

[JTW]

That’s a rear... look at the control arms and shocks sir... he rides with a little more throttle and in more than mud and snow...

Probably got bent on Overland when that tree got wedged up in there and had to be cut out

Nope guess not

I went a mud slinging. Still raining here. Got some pucker effect moments like fishtailing on our bridge and a few other spots near the cliff edge when she came out of the ruts. I had to give her some ion boost stream and we was set free...Made a video. kept getting stuck on uphill climbs and then realized I was in 2wd. Still did monster-ably well. Puddles ran deep. mudskipper....
