Yeah thinking that the oc12 is sounding worthwhile so I don't end up back in the same boat after a repair. I definitely don't need much in terms of gearing back there but pretty disappointed in how much of a setback this has me at so beefing it up seems smart. Just barely pulling on a small dried out firewood tree. It was cruising along as if it barely felt it back there at 2k rpms and bang... I use it more as a workhorse year round, but have been pretty careful about babying the rear end.
I'm not a snow machine owner but if its an open rear and you loose an axel shaft it will do the same thing so you could just need axel.
That's probably the most reasonable advice I didn't want to hear.. have grown quite fond of the imp but you're probably right.
Well I can hardly believe it but you were right. Snapped axle. Big sigh of relief! Didn't think that was the case since I tried running it with the tracks mostly off the ground and applying the opposite brake band to test. Noticed it right away when the tracks came off though! Peering inside the case now and ring and pinion looks healthy.
Been there and done that we were lucky the spider was open centered and we could push out the broken shaft after pulling the other axel no major disassembly required. Good luck on finding one.

I would be interested except I don't have a way of getting all that out to my property where I could work on it. Pretty much limited to what my 6 wheeler can carry other than the imp... truck and trailer won't make it.
Thank you, she had them in stock.
Good question....
would a ford 8.8 rear work you might have to cut it down but its open fairly heavy or better yet a dana 35 or 45 parts are readily available for them from the jeep suppliers.
They are around. Problem is meta. Face book feeds dopamine hits immediately and in high doses. The river of content is massive. With that said.
So this has been tried. It works. Poorly for a short while.
