It looked to me like the RR was unlocked, causing the rear to push it to the
right as soon as the front started to slip. TJs have a tendency for the rear
end to steer the front in situations like that, hence the custom 4 links
triangulated at the top of the rear pumpkin. I'd say this was a group
effort!
FWIW, see Kilbys "TJ7" ferature on their website re: this issue.

Re: TJ limited slip wear out?
Ok, that makes sense.
I just recognized that...I actually DID do that in Moab...it's on
Golden Spike, just after LaunchPad, right? When i went up it I went
ahead and locked the rear, and near the top, started to lift the
driver tire; locked the front before it could start bouncing ;-) and
drove the rest of the way up. Pretty crazy little hill. Definitely can
be tippy for a TJ.
