[@timothymcquitty7407]

id have to say its the axel shaft I had the same problem with my old dodge before I sold it and bought a new one and just bumped it in and my truck was back to normal.

[@krasnaludek298]

This is exactly why I’m perfectly happy with 35s on my Jeep JLU & 33s on my ZR2. Bigger than factory & more proportionate, while more than capable for most off pavement adventures. I don’t see the point in 37+ tires for anything other than trail dedicated buggies (rock crawlers).

[@eggamyer3371]

I’m getting 33s soon on my ZR2 and I think it’s perfect. 35s just look too big to me on the truck

[@yoganidraforrelaxationandr7748]

Big Rims Tires have been fcking up the front end of Trucks forever you have to build the front of the truck 🚚 up so it will handle the big tires

[@natetron7926]

If You really want to fix the problem in the front end of that truck what you can do is get rid of the IFS and swapping a solid front axle

[@davidsanders4703]

Honesty you would almost have to do the front and rear to do it right.

[@wesleygarrison6248]

Well, it’s been abused though. And ifs isn’t terrible. And the 37s don’t help lol

[@darrellwiegand7926]

Love your channel. Can't wait to see the future

[@RFRacing717]

appreciate the support man!

[@melsh2657]

Great video as always Bobby! Sad to see everything broken on the ZR2 but excited to see it all fixed up. Also I’m gonna take a wild guess I’m no mechanic but I’m gonna say the differential. BROKE.

[@davidsanders4703]

From the thumb nail issa broken balljoint.

[@chuckatkinsIII]

I've got 34's on my '16 Z71 diesel with 4.10 gears and that seems to be a good sweet spot for still maintaining good highway manners. I know Dana did some testing with 4.56 gears and determined that the axel shafts weren't strong enough for the extra torque they end up being subjected to. Definitely get a steel drive shaft as you're already beginning to twist yours.

[@jimmyhorton8297]

Hmmm, giant oversized tires on stock running gear. Multiple launches over homemade ramp. Bouncing around over giant rocks and off-roading in places where it gets stuck and has to be yanked out. Seems normal to me, not sure why it would be broken? 2 choices, full send with the aftermarket parts cannon, or fix what’s broken and watch it slowly tear itself apart. Either way, this little truck will never be the same and is destined for the scrap heap. Which is fine if the content pays for it, but kinda sucks if it’s your only mode of transportation.

[@jerseyshoreperformance2626]

It’s expected with tires of that size for stuff to break especially with a half ton truck. Looks like it’s just a cv axle to me also. Keep up the great work bud. (Broke) 😎👍🤘🔥💯

[@byronjones2231]

Its time to start looking into gear reduction especially with those size tires. You are going to start breaking more Ujoints, axles, and locker. That click was the locker and C clip breaking from inside.

[@hiljicardrawings3467]

loving your content man keep up the amazing work!! broke!

[@RFRacing717]

Thank you!

[@dc76384]

Lifts, larger tires but undue strain on your drive systems.

[@todtalk3912]

Thanks. Im sure he n everyone else here didnt know that. Let us know when u have something informative. For real, im just messing with ya, it sucks because lifted trucks look so good. However, unless u have the money to change damn near every suspension part and everything that touches the suspension to bring the geometry back to what it was, so it rides like stock, just higher, than you will undoubtedly come across issues. Esp if ur doing anything more than parking lot driving.

[@dc76384]

@@todtalk3912 I know..it's the same with building a muscle car. We want more horsepower and torque, but so many times we fail to understand how our mods affect the supporting cast. We live . We learn

[@texasoilman9446]

The price you pay Bobby when making good content….Hate to see it damaged, but I’m sure you got this.

[@kevinrutherford7329]

That axle may have just simply popped out do to the angle of it cause from the lift and the articulation of your suspension at that time I have that happen with my 06 dodge ram so it might be as simple as pull it and put a new c clip on it and slide it back in

[@White_buffalo_4r]

After the axle's your looking at the tie rod ends and eventually steering box.

[@MrPeteragent]

I think you're channel is so much underrated. I hope one day you will come into numbers to afford crazier vehicles.

[@nomadsuvlife5625]

If I had the money I would buy the motor off you I am broke down in Reno nevada and live full time in my Tahoe I blew a rod. And it knocks but when your in disability and can’t work my home is going to get towed and bam out on the cold streets of someplace I don’t know but watching your videos inspire me not to give up

[@jons8439]

Love your content man. I’m in PA. Do you ever organize off-roading with fans? My 2 boys want to see your truck in person

[@todtalk3912]

I made this same argument when they had the jeep. They could of said hey we're goong here on this day if u wanna wheel with us be there (theres not many places in pa n the one place the frequent is huge. Point is, they could of said buy this shirt n u still have to pay admission n come hang out with us Im betting they'd of gotten more support then they ever thought possible. N all of those people there would be sharing witj their friends n family some of which will be new subs for their yt channels. Point is, its a huge win across the board for everyone n its 2 to 3 hrs of their day, they can show up, say whats uo to everyone do a litte route n roll n we'd all love it. Idk why this hasn't happened yet.

[@Birnie98]

Keep it up bobby lovin the vids! not a fan of the 3 minutes of ads but hey I get it loll

[@kevinmiller4344]

i hope its the axle...i had a focus st and demolished the differential

[@Grumpybird]

Most people upgrade the tire size but dont think about upgrading everything else. 31in tires to 37 u will need to beef up gears ,axle , and control arms. And u showed the drive shaft bent that could lead to popping and not locking. Good luck on truck fix

[@melsh2657]

Hell yea new video

[@lonestarstate4x4liftedlife66]

Well Bobby no one can say you drive a pavement princess. I hate to see they damage but i am glad your not afraid to send it like it was made to do. The first thing i do when i get a new truck is drive it across my creek to feed my cows and horses. Love the channel bud.

[@geopioneergsxr5357]

Thanks for spelling out ".com", that was the hard part for me..🤣

[@streetstomper]

oh I've been there before, my ram build got a bit out of control and I just recently picked up a new rig to build up because of the costs. I did post a video over on my channel if you are interested

[@joeyzawacki1375]

Yo bro sry to hear about the truck man that sucks hope the cost don’t kill u in the end , but man start that trans am build I really think u would get really great awesome content with That build 👍🏻

I have 34.5 bf Goodrich k2. Anyone using the stealth turbo upgrade?

[@paullarue4896]

Time for gear ratio upgrade?

[@robervin9107]

Great video bud

[@disco2overland458]

Would u sell the Silverado?

[@kodypilger]

May not be broken, you may have pulled your cv boot from over articulation with the big tires. The suspension geometry is incorrect and the stock cv axle cannot handle that amount of stress at those angles, so it pulls it out of the boot.

[@willroeder6462]

You broke the front locker, which is essentially your diff. Not sure how much oil you have lost, but if it’s substantial, your entire front diff is smoked. You can put whatever heavy duty axles you want in it. That tiny front diff is going to continue to be your weak link.

[@blakecaruso7513]

Completely agree

[@chrislennox8237]

Your axles aren't long enough anymore for your lift or the angles of your suspension. It just popped out of the differential. Need longer axles now.

[@Dirtnap300]

im betting the end of the axle snapped off. pull out the axle and look inside to see what was left behind.. maybe a strong magnet can pull out the broken stub>?

[@baldhead7705]

Running that size tires you need everything upgraded in the front end of that thing

[@Ryan_Toppi]

Just came across this. Nice ass rig! Idk if you found axles yet but RCV has some pretty much bulletproof axles with crazy warranty.

[@mugennick5209]

Big hoss! Good video body, you play hard you break hard. At least it didn’t happen on the jump. Broke!

[@quintili1]

RCV has axles for the ZR2 rated for 40" tires. Colorado and Canyon Enthusiast's carries them.

[@JOHNBEA]

Your dad's garage is nice, but the renderings of your new house that you showed last year had six bays I think and will be much nicer. My watch group is hoping you will be in the new house by Fall and out of your current no garage ghetto dump.

[@paullarue4896]

Is it from Jumping the truck?

[@h1tman-640]

Another great video! Sucks the Colorado is out of commission but it will be better than ever once its all fixed up! Also, broke! I watched till the end.

[@philbeth758]

I am just shy of 2k on my 21'... It is in pieces. Rear main, crank, and more being found during dissambly. I'd upload the photo if I could.

[@bigjon4806]

I see what you did! Sneaky Sneaky.... 😁

[@dustinnunley8802]

Looks like your half shafts are at a really aggressive angle might be putting to much stress on them

[@kyleyates5078]

Love the videa

[@kyleyates5078]

Video

[@vincevansanten]

Start with the cv axle first, should up grade the oem tie rods while your in this mess

[@donaldmiller5758]

I know it would be expensive but you should put the motor from the uhaul truck in the zr2. That would turn those 37s!

[@jayjones3254]

Could you get with(contact) AEV and do a full on build with them?

[@kennethoden7956]

Broke but not too bad I honestly think the axle just popped out due to the angle and torque at that time you should be able to pop it back in

[@jonstarnes7905]

That axle shaft is probably just popped out. Pull the tire get a dead blow hammer and knock it back in there.

[@timgoodman884]

Broke That axle should just pop back in you may have damaged the splines a bit and the seal from driving on it without it being in properly but I’m sure you can just pop it back in and hit the trails

[@dam9nwarfo7d80]

The axle didnt look brokeit looks too short i bet you just popped the axle out try to push ot back in and see what happens

[@melsh2657]

5:22 mikes first truck was 3wd bc 4wd was broken I remember him mentioning in videos awhile ago

[@RFRacing717]

I remember that too! lol

[@nothinghour]

I know that Chevy Performance Parts has some upgraded half shafts…. Not sure if they’re more beefy though… I think they’re designed for more travel…. And very pricy…. Like 4k…. Ridiculous… Peak Performance might have something…. I think they offer the King swap along with a lot of other high quality parts for the zr2…

[@todtalk3912]

For 4 k, you can legit have a shop that only does that, make you one beefier than anything on the market now.

[@eazy_ek]

Broke. Just seen the new raptor ranger.......maybe come back to Ford!?! I bet it takes jumps pretty well too!! 😁

[@bigjon4806]

RCV axles should be what you need.

[@publicplans5696]

1,000, let’s see it

[@Tazda_Jazda]

You should take the motor out the silverado and put it in the ZR2

[@CumminsTech24]

Buy some new seals. The axel seals are exposed to the cold, then heat then cold then heat so they crack.

[@chrischacon5806]

Truck looks good sitting like that. Shit no body spray is better than gucci

[@TOO_INTENSE]

Broke! Swap that engine into the bird!! Set it up for drag week!!👀👀

[@603grudgelife4]

RCV axles. Buy em once n be done with it.

[@a7xphenix]

Hope you guys can somehow get involved with cartrek, cartrek cast vs KZbin fan cast

[@austinlumb4454]

Video hit 1k where’s the reveal lol

[@melsh2657]

BIG HOSS

[@SilverTRD]

We could swap that motor and trans in my ranger 😆

[@Ornelas11B]

1 ton straight axle swap is the only way to go now.

[@chrisborjaspiegel]

Tan > wrap

[@davidsanders4703]

Broken. Bobby its looking like you have lost the snap-ring that holds the axle in the diff it dosent look like anything is broken. This top gear challenge better not be cap. You said series I hope you. Guys go thru with it. It would be good for your and steves channel

[@DefinitelyNotYouThankGod]

Broke… great video again Bobby!

[@TracyH007]

Axle shaft

[@brandondawson6896]

Big hoss

[@dankairsoft7386]

Ohhhhh so when it comes to putting anything bigger than 35's on a truck it becomes not only a fitment issue but more so an axle issue because thier just not strong enough to handle that extra weight and contortion. Crap that sucks and unfortunately as much as i hate jeeps im seriously starting to why so many people perfer them

[@Cadillacd2]

BROKE!! But still awesome!

[@Deadpoolmasterchief]

Goes to show chevys can’t hang no matter what off-road package it has

[@todtalk3912]

You can go buy a rubicon and break something day 1. N that is the most offroad vehicle than normal people can buy that comes down an assembly line built for the offroad. Point is, no one serious about offroading leaves those stock either, even though ur paying for 44's front and back most change those out to 60's. Its amazing jeep has yet to release a product fully built with 60's, besides the obvious that they dont want to warranty the product anyway. I think its absolutely nuts, that the best engine, still to date, is an engine they thru in from a minivan in 2012, thats nuts. N it really is for the purpose of offroading the best option still.

[@bigsexymuthashutyomouth2546]

Poor old BROKE ZR2!!!

[@Jarrett-Bryan]

Broken

[@justalatitude]

BROKE. I had this happen to my 2016 Jeep Cherokee. These axles are made of glass from the factory, doesn’t matter the brand Jeep, Gm whatever. If you have the money go with RCV axles. They are way stronger and more flexible. Likely ur axle shaft popped out of the transmission and the spindles on it got sheared. You can tell if you put it in 2wd (assuming that it uses the front tires) and usually you can hear a grind when you drive on it or it wont be able to move. 4wd it will be able to drive normally. Pretty cheap to replace if its just the axle.

[@reesegraves7282]

Broke... I know GM Performance has the HD axles that allow more travel. They are the ones that were developed for GM's Colorado Baja truck
