Carnage!

[GrimmJeeper]

I'm a sucker for some good carnage pics, who broke what? i heard rumors of flops, smashed diff covers.. what else? JV has a tendency to find the weak spots in your rig and beat it to a pulp.

Lets see those carnage pics!

[djblade311]

on the first 1/4 of claw there was:
1 broken u-joint in a rear driveshaft
1 rear driveshaft
1 smashed oil pan
1 hard brake line

the only thing that happened to me was after hitting a burm, I knocked my aluminum bumpstop loose.

I got my first dent on sledge, dropped my rear drive shaft twice, and broke the front arb fitting off in the housing. great times!

And the YJ Guy killed a pan (no pictures from me).


My list is as follows:

1: Scratches to armor from Claw.
2: Possibly knocked out alignment on Claw (or on whops).
3: After taking a hard hit (my Jeep hats whops!) I killed my start relay and alternator, all I had to do was give my relay a tap with a hammer and tug on some wires to fix both of them. The nice thing though is that it showed me that i have a loose connection in that loom so I'll need to tear into it in the future to fix it, I had the alternator issue in 2007 and never found the cause, it just went away on it's own.
4: Lost 3psi in my front right tire when some dune sand got in my bead.
5: Got a tire out of balance, I suspect I spun the front right on the wheel a bit.
6: I either killed a track bar bushing or it's loose, had a bit of the wet noodle effect on the way home.

So guess the red Jeep wants a weekend of attention one day!

Edit - Oh yeah, I knocked a bolt head off my D30 cover ;)

Well dude, at least you had the good sense to land the drivers side mirror into a hole so you're still 100% street legal!

The cage really did it's job. W/o it I would have crushed the roof, drivers side door and busted all the drivers side glass. Instead I have a bent cage, and some scratches in the rear drivers side door and a screwed up rear door handle.

I didn't take any pictures, but...

I noticed a noise with my front brakes, that looked like the caliper may have broken.

I had a spindle nut lock washer fail, causing the wheel bearings to fail, hammering on the spindle nut, which let the rotor move too much, breaking the caliper, and bending the caliper mount.

I spent from late sunday till mid monday grinding the spindle down, reshaping the lock washer, putting in new bearings and brakes, and cutting/welding the caliper bracket back in shape.

Thanks to:

and whoever else gave me a hand with that one. :)

Yikes!! Since I got a fever as soon as I made it home, I guess I'm glad I didn't linger, but that's a little more work than a caliper and a couple caliper bolts!! Wish I could've been there to help...but it sounds like you were in good hands. Parker came back out, I'm guessing?

No, but he left me his power tools in the event I may need them, and then called me Monday evening to make sure I wasn't still out there.

I didnt see Matt out there. well...Hi!

[djblade311]

I'm seeing that my drivers front tire has a little much negative camber. Noticed after hitting a burm at a high rate of speed. I'm hoping that the bad ball joint I already got worse vs a bent front axle

[GrimmJeeper]

its alot harder to bend the drivers side than the passenger ;) hopefully its ok.

[djblade311]

i checked and the ball joint definitely has mucho play in it

[GrimmJeeper]

nobody wants to hear about the play in your ba... never mind :eyes:



:D

[djblade311]

hey atleast it gets some play haha
