This is a lot of work just to cut it all off for the TTB swap….

We are not worthy of your feet pics. You should be monetizing those puppies.
Bruh... do you just get drunk and run around and smash your bare feet on everything?
Shit, I ride MTB like crazy and only have 1x bloody toenail currently. Wait, maybe its two. I'd have to check. They do have things called shoes for fucks sake though. LOL.

Much progress! What’s the plan for the snout?

Has your daughter not discovered nail polish yet???
My feet are the canvas for my daughter’s creativity, and you fucks get to appreciate her work!
If it suits your fancy, I can step in some cake or whatever you’re into…

Was discussing this on the phone with @the bodj and @84Prerunner.
Not totally sure yet. Assuming my 2” Speedway Engineering hub isn’t fucked, I’ll probably buy some bolt-on 2” snouts, a new caliper, and party on for the rest of this season

Do you think this should be something you keep on the truck as a spare now or is that really not necessary?

I currently carry spare front and rear wheel bearings, seals, lock washers, and spindle nuts.
If a snout fails, the caliper would assuredly get destroyed as well. So either I carry a spare caliper or just cap it off if the truck doesn’t get yardsale next time I break a snout.
These sprigs and snouts have been a fucking nightmare since I made them. I’ve welded cracks many times, and I am looking forward to shitcanning these bitches after this season. For now, I want a sensible and quick path to getting the truck driving again.

Just need to quit ruining all the fancy metaluragistic magic by welding and install a bolt on snout. Impressive that the snout material failed but it's clear to see that it started in the HAZ and may have been cracked for a bit seeing the multiple ripples before the ultimate failure. Six 5/16 A574 bolts are stronger with more flexibility than the HAZ 4340 you have there.
I like how fast you're moving though, I wouldn't have even washed it yet.

I approve of this. Throw on those bolt in snouts, run your OEM D44 hubs, and rock n roll the rest of the season until you build your new spindles with big boy hubs/snouts
