We went on a 2 day trip to ride this weekend. First night out, I hit what looked to be a dry hole. Half way through it. I sunk right into the thickest mud I have ever seen. Completely clogged up the silverbacks. All the way up to the fenders on the left side. Smoked the belt on a maverick trying to pull it out.. Finally tied my winch through a block to the nearest tree. It took 10 minutes of slowly winchING and burst of throttle here and there to get it out. Pretty sure I hurt my winch…

Anyways after that. Only stuck it once more in a Sandy river bed.

Thinking maybe one of those times I hurt my right rear axle. On our way back last night I turned right and it started clicking right then and hasn’t stopped. When I got my 800 xmr the shocks were on the 2nd notch. Before the trip I went to last notch on shocks and got 3/4 lift from it.. surely this angle hasn’t played a role in the quick failure. Other then that I got pcv and modified exhaust. Kinda crazy for an axle to fail so easily. Not very happy about it.

So what axles do u guys recommend? I was contemplating cobra of satv but I’m goin with 2 inch lifted and stretched trailing arms and 2 inch lift front arms so I want axles that I won’t be replacing all the time. Plus I got a pretty aggressive thumb. .
