Bonehead move today

Hi All,
I just returned from a few hours of wheeling and pulled a total bonehead move on the way home. I drove about 45-50 miles with my Jeep in 4wheel high, hubs unlocked @ 60mph. What should my biggest concerns be? I think I will have to replace the pinion seal but I am plannng to install a power lock this winter anyway, any other concerns there. What about the t-case??

Any help or input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

 

I did the same thing about 2 years ago, so far I have not had any problems. I had a strange vibration while I was driving that should have told me to stop and check things over but I drove on fat dumb and happy as they say. Mike

 

You should be OK. I used to drive my CJ7 with the hubs locked in on snowy days and just put the transfer case in when needed. I had that Jeep over 100k and never had a problem with the front diff or the TC.

 

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

 

Your fine. The only time you need to worry is if everything is locked.

 

do not worry for even a minute. Even if the hubs were locked I wouldn't worry.

Thanks everyone I feel a lot better now. I figured I was going to have to rebuild the whole t-case and front diff. I really appreciate all of the response!

 

Naaa it's prolly ruined.

Since your right down the road, I'll come over with a hundred bucks and take it off your hands.

 

Thanks for the offer but I guess I'll keep it for a while!
