Not good dude, Thats why a SYE is recommended - i'd be considering an upgrade if i were you.

Rear tailshaft at the diff end or the transfer case end?

If it's the t/c end, then it's probably because you don't have a SYE, and yes it'll happen if you don't have one.

I saw a whole transfer case in 3 pieces due to it failing in the same spot yours did on a stock TJ. Where were you when it failed?? How were you driving?

just leaving a car park went over a speed slowly and then i heard a very loud bang.
prior to this happening i had a ticking noise and everyone kept telling me it was just my brakes.

well it would have happened anyway with your lift, i guess theres some good in it in terms that you'll up grade to a stronger one. Had to be done anyway.

never easy being apart from a TJ, i got rear ended TWICE so far... so i know the pain.

My prob was diffs/rear axles.. the dreading ticking noise was heard and I figured I better check it out. Glad I did, rear axle bearings were basically gone and had chewed through the axle, plus diff bearings not much better... lucky I caught it before diff went byebyes...

Ike, prob best to check out some of the sponsors of the club (as seen on the home page) or check out the sponsors/vendors of the ausjeep forum site.
