Just hope those ruggedpix folks got some good pics I can buy later...probably lucky nothing broke.
 
Great weekend at Hawks Pride. Lee Majors did well other than some electrical shorts with my tunes and my ARB's. Bodean, JTTMFT and I discussed it and felt ARB's were more important so we unplugged the music box and kept Lee all locked up. Fun time we drank all the beer, I smoked 8 cigars and didnt shower the whole time...

Got Dig-Dug up on the lift and noticed right away what we did not see while lying under my muddy rig at the Krawl. . .

Broken front diff armature explains the mysterious chain of events. This cracked on the obstacle course bashing on Day 1. On Day 2 I managed to wheel almost all day without the diff hitting the oil pan. The front diff only deflected hard enough to crack the oil pan when I was flailing in that mudhole. That's why the CV axle separated at the inner bell too. The diff shifted up and to the passenger side. CV assembly was over-extended, tore the inner boot and the tripod fell out.
