Heres a few pix of my junk from when I was fixing it this past weekend. I busted a r@p and kinked both of my front springs at the last mudbog I ran. Check out the first reply on the Free Profields thread for pics of the truck and engine. Anyhoo I know yall like seeing broken junk so here we go.

New springs and AOR ubolt flip are going on next weekend, as well as some bumpstops and new shocks. Just so I can destroy it again on the 10th of april:D :flipoff2: :D

Nice carnage.

Now that quote is one of the best Ive seen in a while.

I think you have surpassed the strength of the Toyota 8" R&P, Profields aren't gonna help you any.

The thing is that it could have been cracked/ broken for a while before and I didnt know it.... I have over 12 races on this front end so they do last for a while... lol:flipoff2:

From the looks of the carrier, that pinion was a BIT deep to begin with.... Unless that was from a previous incident of course.

the carrier was previously used in another third I got in a parts truck from a bud of mine, he says that the installer forgot to stake the nut and we all know what happened then..... :p

It was set up correctly and had a decent pattern but It was just shock loaded like crazy when I landed and the tires evidently had more grip than the r&p did.... :D

Whos springs are those? They look like either trail disaster or rough country. Ive seen a lot of either brand bend like that really a crappy spring but what the hell theyre cheap!

Im not sure to tell ya the truth... they came on an 84 parts truck that I bought..... The guy I bought it from said that they were 3 inch lift springs but didnt rememeber what kind they were as he had bought them @ 15 years ago..... they have red bushings in them but that doesnt really mean anything because somebody could have changed the bushings....

A bud of mine has a set of rough country springs that relaxed like this this as well, they just didnt kink to this extent (prolly because he still only has a 4 cyl) but they work pretty well offroad in his case because they are pretty much flat. Anyhoo enough babbling Ill post more pix next weekend when I put the new springs and bumpstops in.
