Interesting on the coil overs.  Next time we see each other I am curious to find out what Glenn had to say on this topic.

I spoke to both Glenn and Mike about the coilovers and they said they were installed correctly.   Threaded end down for these particular Coilovers.

Well a Saturday morning update of the travails of Terry:

This is a picture of what was left of my coilover:


Note:  The bent Shock body and the welded shock shaft.

KUDOS TO:  RADFLO for piecing together a bent broken Coilover( The complemented the welding job and admitted they had never seen anything quite like that)
                 Russ and Mike (The recovery crew from San Diego 4Wheelers) who got me out of a very tenuous situation (In a 20 foot wide waterfall can't go
                 forward, backward or turn around on my own) and performed the surgery on the coilover to get me home.

And this is a picture of the diff end of the passenger CV half shaft:


This is actually what it supposed to look like minus the popsicle stick:


NOTE:  The little popsicle looking thing is the end of the CV Shaft that was stuck in the axle.

KUDOS TO:  Once he stopped laughing  ;)  ;D My friend Toro his creativity, ingenuity and willingness to hang in there to the bitter end made all
                 this happen.  
                 And to Dan826 who offered up his R180 CV shafts.
 
I guess bottom line my X is operational again at least highway-wise.   I'm going to get out somewhere soon to make sure the 4 wheel drive and lockers work but we are really confident that every thing is back to whatever state of abnormalcy  :P that I represent.
 
Thanks again to everybody who helped get me through this ordeal.

Interesting note...looks like the half axles blow before a locked R180?

This was what I had hoped for. A failure would occur at the cheapest and easiest to replace part of the front end. As long as your not a throttle jockey, the locked R180 is pretty stout.

I can't say what emotions came out when that little popsicle saw the light of day either.   That was some scary work too.   Thanks Danny..  You da man!!!!!

I'd say the front diff is unscathed.

Taken out of context, this line sure could.... ;D ;D ;D
