Broken spider gear
I have a 99 runner with SAS, 5.29’s 4.7 and 2.28 box, factory elocker in rear and elocker in rock assault front. I was in Baja Mexico coming up a very small hill. I stopped, put in 4.7 and 2wd and locked the rear. Slowly started to crawl up the hill and started to spin and immediately a “pop”. Broke the spider gear. Made it to the states with rear locker. I have had a few issues over the last couple years with breaking the factory axle shafts so I put Yukon axles in. They were the same length as the factory ones. I feel there may be other issues involved....
Seemed like a little drag in rear but now with spider broken do not feel the same drag.
