locker caught, ball joints broke, u joint broke, axle shaft broke... used a tractor to lift it out. removed the axle shaft and rested the knuckle on the remains of the ball joints. drove it like that to the front of the park and towed it home a week later.
swapped axles from donor jeep and reinstalled locker in new axle. quick fix (repaired axle and put it back in donor jeep over time)
