Hi all! I was finally getting my gears upgraded to match my tire size. I am original owner and have not taken it to crazy crawling places in my mostly solo outings. The 2000TJ has 68K miles. When they removed the rear, they found "cracked plates" that had not yet failed to be noticeable (sound/feel). I am confident this pure jeep shop was correct, but shocked that this had occurred. I upgraded to Eaton limited slip and added Eaton e-Locker to the front. I jeep mainly in desert and mountains in CA.

1.) I have only had a couple times in its history where I kinda pushed the jeep to get out of tough area, so how does this happen?
