Well a few buddies and i took a trip for memorial weekend and we went offroading sat and sunday, well my truck did amazing and out amazed me what a chevy can handle, i went rock crawling, mudding, creeking, and a lot of trailing, i didnt know all this could be soo fun, well before i left for the 4 hour drive, i was having problems with my alt, and my detroit locker wasnt enguaging right. Well after the trip, on sunday after leaving the camp about ten miles out, my rpms just shot up, so i got on the cb and told my bergade of trucks to pull over, and i put it in park and my truck still kept rolling, so i got out and i looked at my 12 bolt, and theres a hole in the diff cover and its pouring out diff fluid and smoking, the diff was so hot i couldnt touch it, so i took the rear shaft out, enguaged the hubs and just cruised home in 4hi. After about 60 miles the rear sounded like a giant bug buzzing behind me but went away, well also on the way hole my alt decides to kick on and off and about 10 miles from my house just died but i got it home, i have about 200 pics and 10 videos im gonna post up and pics of the rear end carnage, i also broke the lil wing window on the drivers side backing up on the trails. i cant wait to go back this summer and the cliffs

Heres some pics, others will be up later along with videos
