Jeez dude, how'd you do that?? :headscratch:

Nothing bad about mine, I did blow a ring gear with a detroit, but those gears had been in there for about 3 years, and when I looked at them after they were pulled, I noticed they had worn kinda funny.  I don't think they were set up right.  Also, I've sheared off 2 driveline bolts, at different times, but I really don't consider that a problem.  I'd rather have those go than say, a ring gear, or a locker :yupyup: 

Other than that, I've never had any troubles.  I've seen my axle tube dropped from about a foot up onto a rock, hitting it almost dead center between the diff and the pass. wheel.  Put a small dent in the housing and scratched the paint.  Also let me know never to let my dad drive my rig on the 'con :yupyup:

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. "
