Without the stub shaft in place it will ruin the unit bearing.

I know that's true for d30 up until the JK. Does the WJ share the same unit bearing?
Rabbit hole I'm not going down tonight.
Big Dave:
Same concept.

We tested a JK d30. Pulled the shafts, carrier, and drive shaft. Drove it for 2 weeks including 2 trips from Buford to Tallahassee. Unit bearings held. Probably around 1500 miles on 38's.

Mine is a long story, but the cliff notes version is I lost rear brakes on a steep, loose hill. We were looking for the new trail near cherry bomb and the route I took was not it, so I was attempting to back down when I lost the brakes and hit a tree going at a pretty good clip. It could have been much, much worse, so I'm thankful I'm in one piece and only lost a coilover and some brake fittings.
Thank you to @patman and @clark123456 for human-centipeding me back to camp

Man that sucks but glad you and the buggy are ok. What caused your brake loss? Brake lines?

Yep rear brake line got pulled out.

Looks like a good time. Sorry I missed it. Hopefully I can make it out to the next one.
