Default broken diff.

Hey WOL, Did anyone figure out what broke Doug's diff at coyote canyon ? What was he doin when it broke? I've never seen that before. Looked like he was runnin 35's and an FT ultimate. Thats what I've got coming. He must've been really twisted up.

Actually, his diff didn't break, the axle housing did and big time. In all my years of wheeling, I have never seen anything like it - damnest thing really. What caused it? Who knows for sure... flaw in the steel, crack caused from a previous wheeling trip (although there were no other signs of damage anywhere) but when it finally broke, we were driving down a sandy wash and he hit a half buried rock at about 25 MPH. Basically, nothing to loose any sleep over. But, it was enough to do the job.
