spraying belt grip could cause some issues.
I was led to believe these 4.2s were bulletproof, could it be lack of maintenance.
Got me stumped

Have only heard of cranks snapping when heavily modified (300hp, 800-900nm)

And using a viper clutch
I have seen a few cranks at gympie diesel that have hairline cracks around the 6th cylinder

some serious misuse ?
maybe an original defect that got through
is it snapped clean or twisted ?
the one thing wrong with middle age ...is knowing you will grow out of it !

From what I have heard aswell, big power big tyres, stock gearing and dumping the clutch play a big part in crank damage too

The ute is very stock no mods at it was owned by a cocky before me one owner from new and when I owned it it only did some very mild beach driving there was a new clutch fitted just before I bought it that could be the problem or maybe the previous owner being a cocky might have towed some heavy loads??.but as to lack of maintenance it looks smick internally very very clean only a tiny bit of metal in the sump which is to be expected after the crank snapping the oil pick up,squirters,etc look like new
