Who's in the "I broke a 7.25" club?

I'm in the "woulda if I'd kept one!!"

This winter I replaced a "modern" 8 1/4 in a 98 Dakota some kid broke, spinning one wheel stuck in ice and snow. He broke the spider shaft IN THREE PIECES, and then those all bound up in such a way that he DROVE IT 30 MILES on "one" axle, meanwhile, the other axle was wandering in and out of the housing because it had no C clip!!!

Bought a used one out of a 4x4 which has the spring pads on the wrong side, bought new pads and welded em on. Just left the old ones on there!!
