Front bogie wheel missing

[Phazer-Ryan]

i have a 2009 apex rtx and there are 2 bogie wheels in the front of the suspension with 3 total wheels on each side of the suspension. The front has 2 wheels close together. The slide rail had a large piece of metal scheer off and took the front wheel with it. I am currently sourcing a new rail. However I have a 3 day trip planned this week. My question is... can the second front wheel handle the weight for 500-600 miles? Or should I cancel trip if I can’t get the part in time. Thanks for your help

With a new set of sliders you could likely get away with that wheel missing for 1 trip. Highly recommend Dupont slides, wear like iron.
Aluminum Rail is worn badly at the curve, missing a lot of aluminum, sliders must have been neglected at some point in time.
Rare to see the wheel mount ear break off like that, must have hit a rock or stump to put that kind of stress/torque on the wheel or due to rail being worn so bad.
If other side is worn that bad, would replace both rails.

Get a marginal snow kit. This and new sliders should get you thru a trip.
