this is a pic of the destruction that happened to my carrier. my brother and i have it mostly figured out as to what happened: a terrorist squirel with c-4 attached to his back grabbed onto my carrier in a desperate attemp at a suicide bombing all we could hear was "squirel por la vida!".

Sorry to see that.   Busted right at the bearing race. Same thing happened to my GV in Moab.  It ended the wheeling and I had to drive back to NY like that.

One answer to the problem, manual GV/XL steel 3rds.

Well, that will help.  Except the next week link will be the aluminum axle.  :o Fix it with a steel unit or an Anvil if your lifted 3".

Then goes the 22 spline stuff if you got that.  Then comes the 26 splines to the rescue. ::)

Then the hubs bolt begin to sheer.  Pesky baztards.   >:(Metric grade 12s and your good to go.

Then the CVs crack open.  Then your in the same boat at the rest of us trying to find the off-the-shelf, bolt-in solution.  ???

Happy wheeling!  ;D
