shouldn't the broken driveshaft jeep still have front wheel drive or did he break both?

Yep, after the driveshaft broke, there was only front wheel drive but that busted right after, there was too much pressure on the front end to pull the jeep out of the snow.

@hlagunes What do you do in this situation? I'm just a kid with a small wallet so I'm afraid to wheel often and I don't wanna break stuff cuz i feel like it'd just put a damper on a day of fun

Now I have heard when you put a lift kit on a Jeep with the big tires you put a lot of strain on the drive train and these things are bound to happen sooner or later.

I don't know if this is the case or not though.
