Hello, I was riding yesterday and one of my front u joints locked up and took out my front diff housing. It is now a 2 piece unit.. ive never had any issue out of the diff. I know the u joint was the culprit. All in the internals should be salvageable.. Should I just get a used unit of the same, purchase one of the 2 satatv cases n swap stuff over, or get like a Rs1 or Turbo S diff? Lastly, im not sure if I should replaced the yokes with rhino stuff or get a whole new driveshaft.. its a 19 xp turbo 2 seater. On 30s no clutch, has a tune. I mainly ride trails, hill climbs and try and stay away from all the big rocks.. Let me know what you all think I'm sure I left out some info as well

I had my polaris 4500 hd winch mounted above my rs1 diff in a 2018 xpt.
It was getting cooked from heat radiating from the rad hoses.. its real tight in there and the rad hoses are touching parts posing possible places to rub through, no matter how ya clock em.. grease was starting to weep from the winch case..
I pulled it and put it on a winch bumper.
It also difficult to spool nice because you can't see with it in there
