Nope
Just a rear full floating axle sheared off at the flange on the hub because of a loose wheel bearing :oops:

Ive seen Telexs hilux do a couple - he had a lockrite in the front - one was a grenaded CV, the other was a snapped shortside axle - right against the CV - this is apparently pretty common.

this is with 35 simexs & a supercharged lexus though...

If it breaks, build it stronger.
If it doesn't break, drive it harder.
