Carnage share thread

chatted with a friend of mine who trades in used toolboxes. reduced my opinion of snap-on dealers a fair bit. he offered to run box serials past our local guys to see if there were open notes on anything he's buying, they all refused to talk to him. Including a relatively new guy who has a bunch of mutual friends from well before tool truck things.
Hopefully it's lame policies and not turning people into jerks who I know are not jerks in the least. Glad I'm not in the middle of that in any way. I'll stick with my Icon an US General lol
 
My dad has every snap on tool made circa 1980"s and it's some of the highest quality stuff I have ever seen.
I'm not sure how they operate now but they don't sell any of that kick ass stuff anymore.
I assumed they just sell whatever they can get on the open market now.

I started at a new shop and the snapon guy started pulling my toolbox away from the wall to look at the sn. That was the last time he went there. I never pulled any of that bull**** or lied to anyone, and its why i wasnt successful.

And its basically toolbox theft at that point anyways. after a month? (I dont remeber exactly) of non payment snapon credit charges it back. Dealer gets charged 25%, the region 25%, and credit 50%, IIRC.
One of the attractions to matco for franchisees is because you could pay a fee when you sold the box and then repo/chargeback wasnt your problem. Sell any ****nut a toolbox and get paid no matter what.
Hell the guy i was a second franchise for used to rub grease and dirt over boxes that were legitimate voluntary repos just to lower the fair market value to snapon. Plenty of shady **** goes on.
 
It's been 1/4 century since I had a snap on dealer that was worth a damn. Newest ones won't warranty tools cause I didn't buy it from them. Sorry cucake, I bought that ratchet when you were ****tin gravy on your mommas lap. It's still under warranty though...

He stopped coming to our shop when I bought a Snap on tool off the internet while on his truck. $110 for a socket :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
 
Yeah, with icon being a thing and opening up harbor freights like starbucks i wouldnt want to be on a tool truck today regardless. Hell even i cant get my snapon **** easily warrantied.
If any of my demo tools break im screwed… Dealer only power tools marked demo that cost like 20% of a normal tool and get lifetime rebuilds for free. Im talking 200 bucks for a mg1250 that is probably 1300 retail now. Yeah i bought a ton of **** that way….
 
To see if anyone owes money on it that hadnt been written off yet..Local dealers usually band together and look out for each other. And that box was actually bought used off craigslist so it may have been owed on…

It always amazes me how much money people spend to make things worse than stock. Both sides showed signs of ejection. Single shear tiny bolts FTW!

Also the ****ing amateurs couldn't figure out how to wrap a ratchet strap around both arms to hold it together after there fancy ass undersized bolt yeeted itself to freedom.

Edit, just realized the have the tiedown strap hooked to the disconnected lower.....
 
Went wheeling with Redtruggy last night in his cool twisted buggy. My brother and I played a little hard in the Farmington rocks last night.

My 20 year old TrueHi9 5.13’s met the last bad bounce I guess. Wear pattern was fantastic. First time this 3rd member has been disassembled sine TrueHi put it together in 2005.

I saw you post these on Instagram and almost commented to tell you to report to the Carnage thread :laughing:

Night wheeling F-town is always a good time :smokin:
 
We were headed in to the wood wednesday night and a buddys toy buggy sheared the rear pinion off. This is a new gear set, were thinking maybe a the housing wasnt cleaned enough and an old piece of ring gear got wedged. Skid marks in the grass look like it locked up for a few feet. Diffs are the same ratio... not sure what else would cause that.

I would guess no oil........

unless they beat on it earlier, I doubt it would cause an issue that quick. There are some local guys that havent ran oil in their diffs for years. They pack the bearings with grease, and only run lower speed local places. They wouldnt survive running access roads at most of the big parks, but do fine at the small places.
 
Is that a crush sleeve axle? Not a Toyota guy.

Over torque pinion nut getting sleeve to crush, similar to wheel studs stretching/breaking from over torque with impact and wheel comes off ~xx miles from the shop?

This one was a crushsleve. Well be putting in a solid spacer. He said he put oil in it, but I agree, shouldnt it be coming out with the pinion broken?

Parts have been ordered, well be tearing into it next weekend.
 
Did it pull the pinion inward? If the pinion broke due to a impact ect. the rear wheels spinning could've sucked it inward and locked the wheels. It IS suspiciously dry though...
 
Fired up the ol laptop and found some goodies from over the years

Don't forget to install the front output snap ring, you might end up needing to jb weld a chili bean can to your tcase.

When you lose the 4.7 gears, so then you start to drive like a dildo in a stock 2.28 case and lose the input.


Figured some people would get a kick out of these old pics
