Just curious to know what stock parts everyone has broken, and where or what broke on the part.

Please include the truck model, and anything else you'd like to add.  8)

hello.

I have a Kick/UK vitara. model 1992 softop.
I run 33.12.50s and calmini 6" combo with a few add ons lockers etc.

I have broken a 22 spline inner front drive shaft. a 3rd member mount this was on the same day at a competion so I was giving it all.
Twisted a set of rear shafts


Things broken due to bad maintenance on my side :-(
stock crown wheel front.. too much back lash worn bearings
another front shaft but it was twisted before it went in

Engine blow up but that was down to mis use from the previous owner.

I have lost count of how many alternators and starters and usally change the rear bearings once a year and front about 6 times a year lol :-) about twice a year.
Brake pads and rear shoes every few month depending where i drive.

We hit a lot of sand over here and the mud is thick and nasty

And there it is :-)

Too many Aluminum diff housings (the mounting ears), I've pulled a few CV shafts apart at the cage somehow, had a wheelbearing go out (completely my fault), had a couple fucked clutch cables, replaced the clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, pilot bearing, had the head rebuilt due to a couple burnt valves (previous owner) and probably some other stuff.

I broke 2 rear axle shafts and 1 rear ring and pinion.  Not that I'm complaining, but I've never broke anything in the front.  Are you guys in reverse when you snap parts or what ???

On the Gnewt, I have broken the mounting tab on the front 3rd member carrier.  Replaced with a steel GV 3rd member carrier.  Let's see...

...hmm...

EDIT:  Bent my stock idler arm big time at Zukfari last year.  Replaced with Sky idler arm.

...well, that's about it.  Even with wheeling Moab, and all over the mountains of Colorado, I just haven't broken much.  I must be a wuss driver.

Sheared the bolts holding the hub on... twice.  ;D

Ends up the springs on the passenger side of the Ez-Locker were sheared in half so it wasn't locking up correctly.

I was in reverse when i did the 3rd and crown wheel.  
I might have a pic somewhere but i was in sand backed up against a ledge you couldnt see my 33" tires and I had the rear winch going and i was helping it along when too much torgue and BANG!! lol
an acceptable break as a beefed up Landrover broke a rear shaft on the same part
