As a mechanic and an offroad enthusiast I have this to say.
Repair your diffy. The 8 inch is one of the easiest to work on.
Working a truck offroad breaks parts, been there done that in the last 20 years.
If you play in the rocks you will break more in the future in thats any consolation!
You may have not been doing anything wrong at the moment it broke, but had you worked that rear diff hard previously?
On my last trip to moab the 40 in front of me broke a pinion which ate the ring gear while idling down a hill. But that rig was bouncing on the rear diff they day before and it caught up with him.
So don't lose any sleep on this.
