$100 bucks who wants it? tire looks decent
?
No amount of welding skills could ever even remotely repair a sheared axle shaft. I can see why you would think it's a botched repair, but I think it's just the nature of the failure. That, and I would like to think nobody is really that stupid.
But then again, one should never underestimate the redneck ingenuity.
Hopefully it was a trail side repair that failed while he was limping it home. Ya... that's my story lol
I take it back. I see the welds now.
Wow. Just wow.
Wolfwood, mind if I post these pics on pirate4x4.com? I'm sure they'll get a laugh.

Umhm. I am merely describing/inspecting the welds to the readership. Not approving the fix. Don't confuse the two.
Oh I wasn't confused. I was just disagreeing (initially) with your assessment. I could tell that you did not approve! lol
Roger that. But what exactly were you disagreeing with in the first place? I ask because if adding the picture changed the meaning of the words I wrote, I'm not communicating with my words very well.
I was trying to give the redneck the benefit of the doubt in that he knew better than to try to repair an axle shaft with a welder.
Shorts said:That truck shouldn't have been on the road. That fix is fine for getting off the trail, but it should have been trailered home. No way that should have been run on the public roads.

What part of TX are you in? Can you take a pic showing the tread? Also, what size? 35x12.5-16 is my guess
