    My mud truck build bad 395/85/20 tires?

    If it's not mud why don't you come try some of the bounty holes down here and make some money. I forgot you might break somthing. I don't dive on the road now till I get double splined shafts for the rear and lock out hubs but don't worry I don't plan to cross the Mason–Dixon line

    If one of the shafts in the tranny are snaped from now on when beating the truck I will have the transfer case in low and the transmission in a higher gear so the shafts in the transmission don't have as much toqurqe going through them

    If it just sheared a key way that would be nice but would that make the output have a lot of play. At first I was thinking keyways till I found the slopy output.

    One side as in driver side hubs have marine and passenger side hubs have red high temp. When I had a rockwells under a jeep it did not have wheel brakes and never seen the highway. I used marine even when water got in them it did not bother them as much but it was a low mile slow speed jeep.
