Has anybody broken an axle while off-roading/'wheeling in 4Lo?

Hey @Munkiebunz3 - I just ordered one of these... Combo bottle jack and jack stand. Nice and compact. http://a.co/d/fgIJAsL

That will barely get your tire off the ground if at all.

My jack claims 19 3/4” lift. That is how high I get it in the rear

Needless to say I need a different jack.
Found one with 24 1/4” lift but that is the highest.

I have taken my stock 07’ off road many times on some pretty hostile closed roads/ trails etc. I’ve never had a major hard part/ drivetrain failure related. I have had issues with hub actuators and the IWE solonoid. I replaced both IWEs, Check valve, Solonoid. If you are doing serious extended off roading I’d carry a spare set of IWEs on the truck if I were you.
Why bother replacing them?

Explorer Tom hit it on the head, travel with at least one other, that way if you break, or worse yet get hurt, you stand a chance of getting well. It was rare when I ever took my dirt bike out by myself. Maybe short trips in the hills behind my house. I lived right against the San Bruno mountain, here in Daly City. Pretty cool back in the 70's when all my friends had dirt bikes.
