Who likes chewed up gears and a pinion?
well i dont but today i went out with my buddy to a trail and it got pretty rocky and steep and i hit a big rut going up a rocky trail and i heard a huge clunk noise and was scared one of my rear axles poped out....well i tried to go up a little higher and saw there was noise coming from the left rear axle
so i said screw it let me try going back down to get out of here.....while i was going down i kept on hearing the noise but hoped nothing happened.....we got to a dead end so i had to reverse and once i did that it wouldnt go forward anymore
we hooked it up to the back of his jk and towed it around to find the quickest exit which took about 4 hours up and down rocky hills which i was surprised his jeep handled that while pulling my jeep
we got to the main road and decided i can roll my way down to my GF's house and leave it there which was about 6 miles through a small highway
1 hour later we finally got there and this is the final verdict
front stabilizer bar dead and also rear differential
and for the rear i shall install this soon
hopefully it lasts

my high lift fix might have worked, but it killed my turning radious. Tires were rubbin like no other. At least I could dtive it another 12 miles like that to the camp site. No highway manners thats for sure!
