Aren't you running BJ dodge Ub's? Has the little stub proven to be reliable?

One thing that scares me about gun drilled shafts is the failure mode. I used to have some pics from years back, but I haven't found 'em yet. That one doesn't look like it flared out too much so it probably wasn't the worst to remove from the housing (especially if the housing didn't have welded on spindles), but in the circle track world I observed a few that broke nasty. Split lengthwise like that one did, but twisted and expanded to the point we bent the spindle trying to pound them out. It's only 31 spline so it's not exactly a big truck shaft, but they fail weird.
*edit* These weren't the ones that got big stuck, but this shaft still banana'd a bit when it broke and had to be hammered out.

Testament that the D300 case isnt as weak, like everyone makes them out to be.
Why I dont trust C-channel GNs.

What's your reasoning?
I was gonna write a more in depth reply but I want to see you run your mouth first.

Is there such a thing as non c-channel goose necks? I can think of one trailer I have seen in my life that wasnt c channel goose. It was prolly 10" round tube all miter'd and welded.
I can’t think of an open deck GN that didn’t have C channel for the whole frame and neck. I had a cargomate enclosed trailer that 2x8 box tube instead of C but it was pretty thin wall.
is that out of a sprint car? Late model?

Pavement modified, ~600hp, 2500lbs, 7" wide tires IIRC their specs right

I-beam. Delco and Diamond C off the top of my head.
Most trailers are C channel and it works for 95% of the folks out there.

What an idiot...
Brian Rippy's broken 35 spline 9" shaft @ Harlan and am looking for the picture of the Dodge D60 rear toothpick shaft I broke last year.
Two trailer flats outside of AOAA. What a cluster that was, took about 24hrs to get fixed and home.

It’s a sidekick doubler, kick/Dana 300. All stock d300 at that. So, 1.8, 2.6:1, and double low of 4.7:1. 6.50 diff gears, too. Decently low geared for 50hp. Haha

When I built my first swaybar, I used a sprint car torsion bar, and being sprint car stuff, it was gun drilled. It eventually (in about four months, I think) broke, and the break looked like that, I think from the back-n-forth flexing. I replaced it with a solid bar, and that solid bar is now on its second car, near 15 years later. Weighs twice(ish) what the hollow bar weighed, but takes back-n-forth. Makes me curious if there's something to that, if because of the back-n-forth loading, gundrilled axles are maybe not the best idea for a crawler, good for drag cars, but the farther you get from purely one-direction loading, the worse it is for them (or they are for that application) ? I do know the sprint car guys say to mark your bars, and only ever use a bar in the same corner as originally installed, never ever ever swap side to side or they'll break from being twisted backwards.

I love it ❤️ Thank you.
broken 14b ring & pinion is almost unheard of. The only other one I know of is Spidr’s 14b pinion he sheared off, most likely because the dual granny low manual transmissions he built.

I tried to find the picture of spidrs broken pinion.
Thanks for the dead end pics PBB 💀
2" 7075 track bar for 7/8"x7/8" heims. Took a cartwheel at 65 and shoved the front end out the side by pushing through the track bar.
Broke a side gear in an ARB, as the pieces were coming out the window holes of the arb case it chewed the bridge for the 3rd pinion bearing of the mega hi 9 case. Junked about a $4000 dollar differential.

Not as crazy as some of these. But this was an aftermarket fork in my doubler. This was the rear NP241. Not sure if it was bent, or just a "Friday" piece. But it rubbed on the planetary and melted everything. This didn't have hardly any miles or abuse on it
