The cost of trying to wheel with the big boys and not take any bypasses.. 40s on 37s and this 
. BudBuilt skids and white knuckle sliders took a proper beating but held their weight and saved the truck. Came down so hard on passenger slider that I pushed the front fender into the door a bit.

Cruise Moab 2021 memories. The tupperware has since been replaced with a Slee rear bumper, and I added skids.
Just made these modifications last weekend, my wife wasn't impressed!

I only wish that the companies that I have checked were not 8-16 weeks out to get some real bumpers!just looks to me like you’re trying to get a new front and rear bumper
Despite rumors of AHC limiting flex, I had no problem absolutely burying my 295s in the front wheel wells.
Yikes. Down to the paint:

A sound no one wants to hear when wheeling. Not even that hard of a trail, but guess I had weakened it more than enough.
This reached through the internet and punched me in the gut. Really sorry dude.

Gotta pay to play right.. really wish it was the CV that blew so I could've had it back up the following day and kept wheeling
Trying to make @afgman786 feel better by showing him a mere flesh wound from sliding down one of the chonky ledges on Hell's revenge:
True story, I installed these two days before leaving home. NO REGRETS.

What was it then?

Fairly confident something in the diff gave from the troubleshooting we did. The CV boot looks perfectly fine. Hopefully it's still only CV and just diff side where it blew.
Both front wheels spin freely by hand in park. Can't feel anything really catch while turning the wheels either.
I still need to tear into it more, but didn't care to do too much more at camp when we started realizing it might be the diff
Did you disconnect the driveshaft to get off the trail?

Nope. There based on no hearing any noise we figured its a clean break and drove with CDL 45min back. Took back roads to keep the speeds low just in case something seized up
Thanks. Trying to get myself prepared for when this seems to inevitably happen to me at some point.
Did a week long Colorado trip, stayed two nights in Mt. Princeton campground then headed over Tin Cup Pass from St. Elmo to Mirror Lake campground and stayed there 3 nights. Tried to head over Napoleon Pass to Pitkin but once we got to the last couple hundred feet to the summit I realized there was no way I was going to risk the steep loose and off camber push to the top. A 4 wheeler had flipped already and we headed back down and went over Cumberland Pass. Long way around but way safer. I had no problems with the climb up but the way down I did drop off a root and smack the running board. Not too bad but still hate the sound when it hits. Sliders would be nice but you know $$$
So this happened over the weekend...
...which entailed a visit to Slee today to ensure it never happening again. But when arranging a rear bumper, why not a front as well? And the tires are nearly done, so let's go to 33s. And let's do 17" wheels, because that makes sense. And with all that, doesn't this thing need to get off the ground? Let's go OME BP-51. Oh crap, the wallet damage was enormous, but the truck's gonna be awesome!

Its like going to costco and trying to only spend $100
Just for a rotisserie chicken!
