that toyota 60 series,,why doesnt it have floating axles.. ??..they all do in aus.. if axle brakes,,doesnt matter..plus, there supposed to break at the hub,,not half way in,,design..here toyota people think they last forever,, so they never service them, then the gearbox blows, lack of oil, drained into transfer.. axle leaves, bearing sht.. diesels only have 90kw.. excellent..

[@harrywalker968]

toyota.. built to drive out the factory,,period..i was told.. what it that axle out of,?? .it aint std..

[@harrywalker968]

snail trail.. this is why i dont buy jap vehicles. the 80 series is better, but they deleted some good points off the 60.. like the transmission brake.. in drum e/ brake are a sht..they still used the same bs gutless diesel. from 1930. oh,,its turbo,,thats 110 kw.. excellent..

Makes me want to design a "temporary roller/slider" that could lock into the leaf springs for situations such as this

[@Hamthe110]

Love the sled idea and i feel cutting strap slots into "sled" would make it last longer rather than notches that can chunk off and if you strapped the axle up on the front axle opposite corner it would shift some weight of the sled cornner😂

[@420spuzzard]

That was epic! Bet you won't forget about that trip for a long, long time. Thanks for all the great Story telling.

[@russm6759]

Keep em coming. When you have to do what you can with what you have it is easy have a "great plan" in retrospect. We all get to learn together sometimes. That is a beast built of a GMC. Thanks for sharing guys.

[@BruceCookfmx]

For future reference, a longer log works better as there’s then way less torque on the straps and you can strap it up tight against the frame where it takes less abuse too as well as sliding over things easier. But whatever gets the job done, nice work boys 🤘🏼👍🏻

That's the bummer I've seen on Vancouver Island.. Mosaic owns so much of the forest there and has a ton of it gated or otherwise closed off. No idea if thats the land you were on for day 1 but it has definitely ruined a ton of public land there. Really blows.

[@Davejansma]

In atching the video they were just outside of Mosaic managed lands of the Alberni valley (north western Sproat lake/Sutton pass area). Great to see my stomping grounds.

You are crushing it with the content. I’m run a small KZbin channel in Perth, Western Australia and it’s incredible that you are able to produce quality videos week in, week out 👌 I don’t know how you do it. Keep up the great work and congrats on the growth of your channel. If you ever fancy a wheel down under let me know 😃

Every time I go out, I learn something new (just got back from a month in Montana) and that's the whole point...learning something new, seeing something new, etc. I appreciate the sharing of your adventures and I'm glad that no one freaked out over something that can and did get fixed/ (as a team)get resolved; it happens to all of us and it's nice to see friends step up.

[@jbrizz99]

That 60 is too high/too narrow and it's huge tyres make the gearing too high. I think a stock standard one the original 31 inch tyres would've got up that rock step and also probably wouldn't have broken an axle.

[@crewser004]

[@chadgraber4575]

Figured there would have been a different way to attach the spare to the hub somehow, even without power to that wheel, and balance better and be able to roll easier at least. Great vid, though. Cool ingenuity.

[@dustywheeler6641]

I would have left the wheel and axle in place, taken the hi-lift apart and put the bar across the face of the wheel/tire, tied off to the slider and rear bumper. That keeps the wheel / axle from coming out of the housing and you can roll back to tarmac. Pretty common technique for a broken axle

[@bluntobject4084]

The song was brilliant. Not even finished video yet and liked, subscribed (finally) and the song is stuck in my bead

[@TheStoryTillNow]

Haha, thank you

[@Cosmicsurfpro]

I might've tried ratchet strapping the tire on and dragging it with a flat rock on the bottom 💪🤙🏻

[@TheStoryTillNow]

Good idea!

[@desert4seat]

😮

[@Karim-ny7gb]

I kinda had an idea but I don’t know if it’s smart or gonna work or not , but I thought about strapping the broken axle’s wheel to the other wheel tightly , the straps will keep rolling with the wheels without getting tangled and the broken axle’s wheel will remain strapped, useful and rolling , something to think about I guess

[@KrazyMitchAdventures]

[@jalilburdeen8698]

So question. Why not remove the broken shaft out of the hub assembly then put the wheel back on and keep going in 3wd?

[@DirtTheory]

That can only be done if the axle was full float, mine was not.

[@Desertquartz79]

Only full floating axles can do that. That's exactly why I'm getting some in the future.

[@jalilburdeen8698]

Ohhhh I guess I forgot they were all semi float until later 80 series. Thanks!

[@jeremysumpter8939]

Did none of you guys have a welder? I would of welded it and disconnected the rear drive shaft so that I could atleast roll but not send torque through it until I could fix it proper. Axles are probably your #1 spare part when you go out like that, either way....amazing video as always. I used to go out like yall but recent years ive been unable to wheel...hoping that changes here soon. I live in the PNW now and its wheeling heaven

[@semiccap]

You had the right idea, wrong exection. You needed a log that could reach and rest on the top of the front axle. Strap or chain it down. the log needs to be long enough to fit under the rear axle. Rear axle above log, front axle beneath log. then you can strap the log anywhere its not touching ground to fasten in place. As you drive the log with grind down. then you replace it It saves your chains, straps etc. and the slope helps the vehicle glide over obstacles.

[@will400r]

The whole reason it broke is.....he had a case of buzzlight onboard. Duh

[@StitchyX8]

I wonder if you cut a hole in the log and shoved the broken axle through. It would just allow it to spin freely. Nevertheless this was definitely an adventure!
