Offroading with the club, doing the "left-foot locker" trick on a small rock, and I hear a snap/pop from the front end and from then on I have no 4wd. I remember Swordy and Bob talking about shattered CV joints but I dismiss that because there is no grinding noise and didn't have drive in either tire. So we figure it's something in the pumpkin.
We get off the trail, back on pavement and whatever metal piece broke off in the diff, gets sucked into the gears and the front tires seize momentarily. Now I've got a grinding noise so I'm assuming the diff is shot.
Now I'm 75+ miles from home with metal chunks in my front diff. Luckily, one of the guys has experience with Isuzu stuff and we pull the drive caps out of the hubs and remove the main front driveshaft, totally isolating the pumkin from the wheels and the drivetrain. So now I have 2wd, and more pep with the mud terrains on than with the front axle connected w/ street tires, and it took less than an hour to disconnect.
Hopefully, the dealership will fix it under warranty, but that remains to be seen.

Any other offroaders have similar problems??
