Maybe you need to use 4lo more and try to ride the cluch less, this is my first manual vehicle and after some offroading i was the only one who didnt smell the clutch, since i try as fast as possible to let the clutch go. a few times before this outing i tried different ways not to ride the clutch and i got used to it.
I completely burnt my CLutch out at Gilmer this weekend(I hate wheeling with sticks), although I wasn't to happy and I'm already are in Debt with my parents....

So its a brand new day and last night my step dad brought home all the parts i needed, fixed the break, and removed all the parts out of the dif, so its drivable now w/out 4wd and my shock is still busted but i can drive it to school today and tomorrow.
He says monday ill have the rest of the parts and sometime within the next few days after that we can get it all taken care of.

sorry to hear about your luck....did you install the gears? did you get a good break in done before doing in wheeling, and or any hard 4wd pulls on fresh gears?
in my old tj i had a front stub shaft on the passanger side break and bind up enough at 40mph, that it almost rolled me over when the tire locked up.....no damage to diff...i might have been lucky.....i didn't see a locker installed, and a open diff is generally pretty forgiving.........if it trashed the diff like that i am surprised it didnt break that dana 30s axle shaft first....but hey anything is possible......
