My new 3wd

Hairy

It could be a either a CV joint or an axle. I did a lhs CV joint on the top of a mountain in an older LC. That was a lot of fun getting down in 2wd.

A fun job ahead.

Wild guess - locking hub. But if you have one unlocked and no difflock then another one will not work - i.e. it will be 2WD, not 3WD

Sounds about right, I gather you have either a locker or an LSD in the back and an open diff in the front, centre diff locked.
If that is correct then everything is working as it should, if one front and both rear wheels spin then the other wheel receives no drive, to overcome that you need a locking diff of some description in the front.

If yours is constant 4WD and the centre diff was locked maybe jack all 4 wheels off the ground, engage drive as you had on the beach and determine if you have broken something or if it was just a steep beach giving the impression of lost drive to a wheel.
If you definetly have no drive to one wheel break out the Sidchromes (or Snap-ons if very financially advantaged) and start removing bits. Maybe you have just stripped the splines on the drive flange. If not keep going in until you find the busted bit.

Bloody Toyotas!! :))

Unless you have diff locks, if the front right had wheel is spinning, there will be no drive to the front left hand wheel.

There may be nothing wrong at all.

OR maybe one of the hubs was no locked in.

Back to checking the simple basics...jack up the front and check the differential works and the hubs engage.

Hairy,
good to see that you now you are getting older you have stepped of the Harley and now have one of those V dub powered 3 wheelers. LOL.

Hope it don't hurt the bank to much,

Gday Honky,
Its about a 1994 model with standard diffs and no lockers. Its just that half way along the beach it really started crabbing and in all the years Ive had it, its never got stuck in a position like this before. Im not 100% sure wether the LHF was turning as I couldnt see it but a few people watching said it didnt seem to be. Another local said he had an F100 years ago which would spin the RHF wheel very easily and used to drop that wheel's presure a lot more than the other and it helped when I done this I drove out????? Im just curious I anyone has had a similer problem..........could it be a worn diff or hub or something.

Cheers

Hairy,
what was the outcome with the trike or do you have to get new pedals.
