Been there done that. Check out the avatar.

What caused it? Did you hit the drive shaft?

what i think happened was that i was to hard on the throttle and got the rear spinning way to fast, and when it came down, TC grabbed it and send all that energy into the diff, not for sure though. btw the drive shaft is fine, as well as both axle shafts.

edit: btw this rear end only has 3000 miles on it, had it replaced after a wreck in august, and LR wont fix it even with the extended warrenty. peices of crap.

a little Duct tape and it'll be good as new :)

I had that happen in a Yukon I owned a while ago...The dealer said he had never seen anyone destroy one the way I had. There was nothing but pieces and the entire R&P were shattered...Sounds like putting forks and knives in the clothes dryer...

I saw your post and did not respond, cause I thought it was the infamous drive train clonk.

I slipped off a rock and hit the rear DS flange had the same results. Ugly.
