I was wheeling this 4th and blowed the front slip yoke apart and was wondering if there is any upgraded chromoly slips that anyone is running or know of.

Has there ever been a lack of lubrication history? I've never heard of such a thing happening.

Nope I take pretty good care of it because I do not like setting it out on the trails. I was with a bunch of other toyota guys and they were kind of amazed as well. I was kinda mad bc I had to back out and finish out the night in 2 wheel peel. I am wanting a upgraded one as to where this will not happen again.
was it fully extended when it popped ..... do you have a lift on the truck ,,, you could just need a longer slip so at full drop there is still plenty of slines still meshing ...... jusy my 2 cents

It was not at full drop it was compressed actually I was pushing my way up on a rock I did not blow out the splines I split the ears as in the picture

To much grease?

To much grease did not cause it and there was not to much grease in it. I guess no one has a upgrades for this or not that I can find. I called high angle drive line and they wanted to build me some joint with adapters to a 1310 and all this junk and I told him the joint did not break that I was needing a upgraded yoke.
at full droop and the way the shackles are set up on our trucks from factory the slip yoke would be in a compressed state both for front and rear. at full stuff it would the be extending the slip yoke and making it longer....
just a fluke... get ya a used on efrom the clasifieds section adn call it good.
