You might have seen my Facebook post saying I was safely home from Jeep Fest with my rear drive shaft in the back seat and wondered what was up? It turns out, a year of hard wheeling can take a toll on things sometimes. I diagnosed what I thought the problem was, dropped the rear drive shaft, and "limped" it home. My mechanic asked me what I thought was wrong. I told him I thought I'd messed up the ring gear in the rear diff and that the locker wasn't working. He sent me these pics to tell me, "Congrats, you were right". Not sure I'm happy about that, haha. The teeth aren't supposed to have chips out of them, and there aren't supposed to be shards and shavings of metal bouncing around in there…!
Regardless, the good news is the ring gear has a lifetime warranty and they got me back together, and setup to keep wheeling. The gears have a lifetime warranty, challenge accepted. 🤪
