The highlift works also with a bunch of grease on the tire still, he broke it on a friday night run.
A friend brought him a axleshaft on Saturday, so they tried to fix it after our saturday run, meaning they went back to fix it sunday morning, but that did not work somehow due to a lunchbox locker being in there.
So they managed to drag it of the trail. From there he got kind of left behind and was stuck in Calico for 3 days, still don't know how his buddies left him there but do you want to change something like that?
Also I imagine the tow bill home was not cheap. he stayed there so long because he had to wait for his mom to wire him money for the tow home

You know when it all boils down to it, its all about how you drive. and what you expect. my 05 has 110k on it, I've replaced the spider gears and one seal and bearing. All of those miles were HARD. Pulling easily couple grand every other trip. I would also downshift to slow the load down cuz the brakes can't handle it. (people in houston suck) I'm talking about round bails of hay (approx 800lbs) a 16x8 lowboy flatbed. twin seadoo trailer with them, 17 ft Boston whaler, misc crap. Long story short I'm have beat the stuff out of my jeep and she is still going strong ish. as strong as she can be. I do light trails like at the deer lease and stuff. But that's rock crawling with a trailer(corn, stand, feeder, supplies). Oh Also I replaced the spider gears at like 75k. I was trying to blow the tranny because they suck and it was screwed from the factory, but new spider gears and its running again. (Jeeps don't power slide well with a lift and bigger tires. 90% of my miles are highway.
