Sounds like you loaded it up, maybe butted it up against a rock it didn't want to climb and kinda twisted it up and put an extreme load on it. You don't have to be a hard wheeler to break stuff. Those low gears put a heavy load on everything.
Ummm yeah thats exactly what happened is it was under an extreme load. Uphill, locker, 37s, dual cases and a heavy load in the bed at full turn to the passenger. It wasnt against a rock or anything, the rear driver tire was but no other was on a rock. Oh wellim getting a new one. Sending the broken one out probably on wednesday.
