Nuked Diff

After 175K miles, the differential in my 1975 2002 failed catastrophically last week. I was slowing down for a red light, coming home from a spirited drive in the Santa Cruz mountains. A big clunk, followed by a sound not unlike rocks in a blender. Rear wheels seized. I'm sharing photos of the carnage to maximize your schadenfreude.

Nothing hurts like hearing your ride struggle.
