Well, I heard a big clunk last night on the highway; sounded like a big rock came up and hit something underneath so I thought that's what happened. A short distance later I heard two smaller flanks amd immediately pulled over. Checked everything underneath and saw nothing amiss. So I continues home since i was so close. When I got off the highway I heard it a third time and also felt a catch/bind so I limped it home.
I put it up on Jack stands and rotated the front wheels. As I spin them I hear clicking. I put my hand on the diff cover and feel it as it clicks when I rotate the wheels. Fucking spider gears to the front locker I'm sure. Pulling cover to check. FML. Already had the rear Rubi locker fail.
At a crossroads as to what to do. I'm installing an RJ60 in two weeks but planned on running the 35's until they were worn and then upgrading to a larger axle to run 37's. Didn't plan on that happening anytime soon budgetwise lol. Hmmm, front locker or start the front axle upgrade...decisions, decisions.
