Ya, I can't keep a pin in the rear axle. I have tried drill bits, nails, and everything. It busts when I really don't even have it bound up. I was climbing strait up a dirt hill, stopped at the top(still on an angle) and the sob broke. I'm out of ideas. Anybody got any?

Man...that is pretty funny though....jsut goes to show how much torque these things put out. It'd be interesting to get a reading......maybe use a torque wrench and a socket??

The only thing I've broken has been both the transfer cases.
