Not to be rude, but it looks like someone learned a hard lesson about mismatched gears!

ouch, buddy at school did something like this, he had 4:10 in the rear and 3:73s in the front on his ranger. it was lifted and had big tires. only thing was the 4wd was hellacious. when he engaged 4wd the front or back couldn't keep up. needless to say he since fixed the problem but learned a hard lesson.
