Finally broke a Birfield

Not that i wish to break one. I have only myself to blame.

I was winching a jeep , the rear diff was stuck on a rock on a pretty steap trail. I didn't have a good grip so my truck was going down instead of him going up and over that rock. So i made a stupide mistake, yep, i back up to give a pull so the diff would get over the rock and totally forgot my ARBs were ON. TAC, instantly.

I don't think i need longfield, i don't think my setup requires them, sure it would be better, that was just a really stupid move from me.

So i got my initation this weekend on removing a axle in the trail. I had to because i couldn't steer left. otherwise i was ok the get out of the trail on 2wd, locked tho.
