Here are some of the more unusual stuff I have in the car:

• NOCO Genius GB30 Boost (Similar to the Micro Start)
• Little Hottie hand warmers (I am Canadian – These are awesome in cold weather)
• Portable Aluminum shovel
• Hand crank flashlight
• Portable 12V air compressor

I can see marks left in the wheel well, but it didn’t seem very severe.
I was surprised by the force that came with the incident. Would tires rubbing the wells have that much force? It was like going from all normal to full wheel lock. The wheels and tires (MXV4/MXM4) are from Ford so I don’t think there is a size issue.

I checked the manual and the differential fluids are good for 150k miles. I’m at about 90k miles. Wouldn’t differential problems be easily reproducible? There are no abnormal noises or vibrations otherwise.
