Blew a 30 spline long on the weekend . Wondering if anyone has had the opportunity of using the warranty from Bobby ?
 
Broke the Inner cage and all the balls fell out . I'm running 36" Iroks ,4.88 gears , 2f , sm420 , polys in the back . I'm not exactly sure when it broke but I'm pretty sure It was near the end of the third section on a trail in Nanaimo B.C. called the Fart. I'll try to get some photos up in a bit .
 
First gen 30 spline?

Kick arse trail name - no pun intended...
 
It's less than a year old . I just spoke with Bobby . He was a little surprised .He said to send it back though and he'd replace it . I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did . Glad I didn't go with the 39's .
 
Here are some pics of my rig and the long .

the only longs ive heard breaking are on rigs with 40"+ tires and V8 power

:clap: i bet your a fun guy to wheel with.. ;)

yup...i can vouch for the fun to wheel with part
 
arb,detroit or welded and you must have backed up and still been locked? no...yes....sounds weird to me how bout 60 mph rock hopping? :hmm:

Where are the rules about backing up when locked ? I run an ARB in the front . I do believe I was going forward as well. It is however very challenging terrain to wheel on. If anyone gets up this way and wants to give it a go give me a shout .
 
Boat tail is sweet! I'm down two PP chromoly rears - long side. Can't believe you roasted a 30 spline long before one of those.

Do you know what did it in - divulge the details man!
