I think 1 or 2 more road track days and it would have probably done the same thing as your friends 12 bolt. Shearing bolts inside the ring gear would suck. Glad mine didnt get that bad.
I had someone build this rear end for me over 4 years ago with the spool, 32 spline Mosier axles, and C clip eliminators. From what I could tell it doesnt look like locktite was used on the bolts to the ring gear. I think thats the main reason the bolts worked thier way loose.
I will run it at my event on the 26th and when I get back I will pull the cover and see how everything looks. Plus I want to flush the new fluid anyway after the event to get more of the metal shavings out. I will probably also replace all the bolts to be safe.
