Chewed up my passenger side shaft on a trail. My tire was wedged pretty good between two rocks

2008 Rubicon with stuff
Yes. Was trying to climb some rocks and the trail was pretty rutted out by buggies. Wheel got stuck in the rut while trying to climb this big ass rock. Broke front passenger side u-joint.
33's, open front & back, 3.73
If I would have been locked in the front and 35's I don't think it would have broke. Still running stock shafts.

was doing a small hill climb and hit a rock at the top that snapped the ears on passenger side shafts
Looks like the factory shafts have it so far!!!
All stock including factory 4.10's. Running 35's on steel wheels. Hit a mud hole and destroyed the spider gears. Aussie Locker installed now.

35s and all stock up front except for 5.13 gears. Should likely do some gusset/truss work before I hurt it, but... It's good so far.
