Topic: My Locking Hub fell off

[JeepMan4wd]

I have an 85 toy with what looks to be a set of stock lock out hubs on it, the alxe is welded.  I was driving around on some grass still in 4wd and took a turn and the hub fell off.  It snaped all 6 of the stucs that hold it on.  My question is "is this common" and what would cause this to happen?  Do I need to replace the studs on the other side?  Are they prone to breaking?

? is all of the shaft there,  my bet the bolts were not tight

X2, they usually don't shear unless driven really hard or loose

The nuts where not tight. Replace them with some FROR studs and forget about them forever.

ive seen that only happen on rigs that had loose nuts (either holding on the hub or behind the wheel )

You not only sheared off the studs you also broke off the two hardened locateing pins. Good luck on getting them out. I would just buy a new hub, much easier.

I've only seen that happen on a truck hammering it with 39.5" Irok's.   I'd bet they were loose.  You can get ARP studs for it you need stronger than stock Toyota.

Thank you very much

Call Marlin, they can drill and install extra pins too!! 

Either that, or call Bobby Long for some slugs!  Guaranteed to break more stuff!
