I consider my offroading "light" -- it's overlanding mostly, getting to a destination. The dealership disagreed lol but they did agree to fix my front driveshaft under warranty. I'm pretty sure they were under no obligation with not only a 6" lift, but one that involved modifying a few things on the truck to work with the ORP. I worked very hard on alignment, but she's a big girl and I suppose these things can happen.
Since it was a free replacement, I'm going to run with it for now. If it breaks again, I'll have something much tougher made and run U joints on both sides. (It was the CV that cracked and fell off.)
Also bless that locker, saved me out in the middle of the desert with no 4WD. Funny how the sensor gets slightly bent in the rear and a bunch of warnings go off. Take out the front driveshaft and it doesn't know and drives like it don't care.
Here's the video from the trip it broke on. Think it'll break again?
Moral of the story: if your crap breaks, use this as a precedent for getting your stuff fixed for free.
