Ooof that ride I am sure did not feel good.

I just started reading this thread. Is that the first time you’ve broken an M190?
I have a Black Diamond on order.

Pretty sure it's the ring gear as it is intermittent in the front. This is my first M190 but I have destroyed 1 passenger CV and passenger inner race was toast from a leaky boot. M190 made it 9k miles and a wheeling trip almost every tank of gas. Nothing wrong with the M190 for normal to moderate use. Looking forward to my M210 swap which is still 1/4 the price of SAS.

I had a shit eating grin all the way down. Having the wife get back and 2wd driving it out was ruff. She watched me go backwards and then had to ride along with me roasting tires all the way out.

Making a new thread but here is my ride backwards down Hells Gate.

Well that SUCKS!!!! Sounded like it was in a blender, thought it would look worse.

You’re one of the baddest ass Bronco wheelers around! Can’t wait to see the update here when you install that new M210!

Keep doin God’s work out there on them trails bud.

I crawl with a RZR on portals and broke my front diff bouncing up rocks last month. Sounded a lot like yours except not as loud (it’s a fraction of the size). A pop and crunching noises all the way back to camp. I’m sure gear deflection inside the weak cast aluminum case caused it. case is broken. Known issue, similar to the Bronco, A billet case replacement is $1900. ouch. I thought I would sell the rzr but thinking I’ll keep it so I won’t be tempted to beat on the Bronco too…. For a while.

Lol I am pretty mild, I was bringing up the rear.

That is the hard part, how far do you go? I want a spicer upgraded front end but that is not happening right now. But a front locker sounds like a good upgrade.

I will be going ultimate front, but you'll need this way before I have the funds to do that!!! Otherwise I'd give you a fair price on mine !!

M210 w/4.46 gears coming from summit racing. If I get 2-3 years out of it maybe someone will come out with a fabricated 9" front.

I figured you would have moved to a lower ratio.

He's too cheap for that

 

[BAUS67]

Trying to save $$$ and not re-gear the rear.

 

[Snacktime]

It's cheaper to regear later, right now it's get it back on the road. Need 4wd asap, need to go get my Christmas tree next weekend.

I hear you, i just figured you'd have regeared all the way around prior to now. Everything costs to much I know.

I need to stop breaking things so I can do stereo or performance mods. I would like to throw a subwoofer in and do something loud.
