Breaking a wheel like that is interesting. What’s that story?

I was in a situation where both wheels where wedged hard and the tires where pushing away from the wheel and as I kept going the wheel broke. I have inner air beadlocks so the tires stayed put on the beads until there was no bead to push against on the one wheel.

What joints are you running?

 

[kmboren]

The newer style Rock krawler ones but no more. I honestly think there is a manufacturing flaw because they wont last a single trail. This was the second new one that failed on me.

Rock Krawler specializes in manufacturing flaws.

I have run a rock krawler 3 link long arm kit for a long time. Changed out bushing ends for the joint ends and that is the first real time I have had bad luck with them. Enough bad luck that I don't want to run them again.

I have talked to summit and their joints are back ordered until after Thanksgiving. Might have to put a rock krawler back in it just to do my sons memorial run. Then run the summit's after that.
