I haven't broke anything at the mall or on QWERTY Canyon. ;)
 
Nothing impressive ... but this one I thought was funny ... I somehow ended up with a puncture from a Gerber buried nose deep in my tire

There are a lot of things you can break on the trail and still get back to pavement with a few trail fixes - a broken sector shaft isn't one of them. You break it and you're up a creek without a paddle, that is of course, unless you have a spare. Changing one out on the trail is a lot of "fun". Took Mel from Off Road Evolution and I both working on it at the same time still took about 3 hours to do. Once broken, the remaining shaft is a real pain to remove especially without damaging the seals or bearings.

Our PSC help keep our sector shaft from breaking for over 3 years so, it did it's job well but, when you keep pushing things, they can and still will break.

Even though I have a Sector Shaft brace I believe I will add a sector shaft to my parts box. Thank you for the idea Eddie.
 
Breakage of the spider gears in my D35 rear (yeah I was one of the unlucky 07's):

I know and all this was happening within weeks of the start of last year. Other breaks along with those was my shifter fork breaking in my teralow 4:1 and my brand new Cat getting smashed on the rubicon. Bad luck sometimes. But things happen and its.. well, a way of life!
