It really depends. Sewie did the exact thing I did, he broke, I didn't.
Any sort of torque applied when either of the front wheels have to climb. If both wheels a climbing at the same time it's usually fine. Housing flex causes the ring gear to ride up on the pinion. Then, Kablewie.
It really needs to be fixed so that those of us who do wheel are not being left stranded in the middle of nowhere. Having to be strapped and winched off the trail.
The H3 should be able to do what the other models can do, albeit differently, without the risk of complete failure.
Sometimes you earn it, in the case of the H3 front diff, you usually don't. And that's sad.
