Front hub went POP

[ademster]

Well... I was about to get onto the freeway, well wait, let me back up so you know whats going on.

While at a trail rated 4.0-4.5 Called Smasher Canyon. I bent my front drive line and Sheared my rear drive line in half.

So I got a new front drive line, and waiting on the rear so I have been driving frt wheel drive, Not long distances or anything, just short trips..

Well today comming home from a friends house... I turn onto the freeway on ramp and POP!!
My Right front wheel hub EXPLODED threw chunks everywhere

I have a 82 CJ-7 Dana 30 up front...

I dont think the xj's are manual hubs.

I need the locking hub part.

I dont have the money for a new set line superwinch warn milemarker... looking for stock ones that are used but in good condition to get me by until I can by the warn premiums.

If your going to be running FWD for awhile you'd be better off finding a set of stock drive flanges versus stock hubs, it will only happen again and soon...

When you bought a CJ new and ordered it with the optional hubs you were supposed to get the drive flanges in the box the hubs came in (at least they did this with a then new 74 CJ5 and 79 CJ7 that were in our family)...

Perhaps OB1 or Olney has something on the shelf, you might want to PM them... Or maybe talk nice to Cole at Four Wheelers...

I am not sure what you are telling me.

This is just gonne be a temp fix until I get enough money to buy the Warn hub set. which will hopefully be sometime next month

This is what you need to save up for if your going to keep your original CJ Dana 30 setup for any length of time: http://www.warn.com/truck/axles/front_conversion_kit.shtml

The Premium Warn hubs still bolt up like the originals, poor design... As you are a victim of this design...

What I was trying to say was you'd be better off with the original drive flanges (no hubs) compared to the original hubs if your stuck being a Front Wheel Drive CJ for awhile. Guys like OB1 and Olney have (well it appears this way) old spare parts which may include a set of original drive flanges that they would be willing to part with for a little cash... Four Wheeler's with their amazing NOS inventory also may have a set of original flanges around...

Just trying to help...

[ademster]
