Busted wheel hub
#1
This may be a little boring but it is activity.

Went powerline riding Sunday and attempted a mud hole with an up hill climb in the back side. I decide to hit it really hard not knowing if the mud hole had a bottom. It was deep but I was pulling out of the mud and going up hill. I had the pedal on the floor in low lock 3rd gear. Bronco was digging. All of a sudden the left front tire stopped pulling so I stop. My buddy walked over and said the whole hub assemble was gone. It was in about 10 pieces. The hub it self was laying on the ground with the outer screws still holding it all together. I got out to inspect. Now remember these are all new parts from the front disc comversion. The spindle nuts and pieces of the bearing were still on the spindle. I guess the hub was cheaply made in China. Here are some pics after I got it home.
