Carnages!!

[95' heep]

Someone had to have a couples of carnages!! post what you had over the weekend!

to start with, here's mine...

-2 left side Dana turdy-five axle shaft which in result a 8.25C swap in the campground
-one wheel's lugstud holes enlargened and kept losing nuts (I actually lost the tire, it rolled for about 50 yards away)
-transmission fluid loss, not sure where its leaking from but i think its leaking from the input shaft seal.

i probably would have stayed today and wheeled with you if i wasnt broke. you my friend are commited haha.

my list:
231 case exploded
bent rear bumper
lost all brake pressure

[lesslimited]

Same thing I did last time I wheeled, ripped the exhaust off.

Maybe it's time to weld that sucker...

[bmyohn]

My list:

- Dana 30 ring gear and pinion (just a guess, havent pulled it apart yet)
- Torn up rear bumper.
- Ripped mount off of bumper on the bumper side.
- Bent up the bottom of the tail gate, not too bad though.

Or leave it that way, it sounds bad ass.

I had to rebuild a hub before the trail run or I would have lost a wheel. Other than that I have a bunch of new clunking to track down.......

Oh yea somehow I busted out my front passenger side blinker, I will never be able to drive it on the road again.

You can still drive it on road, by using hand signals :laugh3:

[HaleYes]

Huh,.........I thought you "tore up" something else.:doh:

[mrmikey32]

gas tank
bent exhaust
brake line
front bumper is dented
passenger doors will not open(tree)

other then that, good to go

and the damage and experience, totally worth it

[hanaxj87]

So far what I see...
1)Bent steering tie rod link
2)R/Fand R/R Wheel beadlock ring bent into tire
3)R/R Wheel seal pouring oil out on the way home
4)Bunch of rock rash and dents

Love the rock rash:D

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

busted front marker lamp and a blown out trailer tire on the way home....glad my list was short this trip! :thumbup:

[seanR]

Dented roof and smashed windshield

[Rev Den]

torn off side mirror.

[FlexdXJ]

I got some new pinstripes. I took it easy as usual. I think my swaybar is hitting a coil now though. :dunno:

[HaleYes]

I would have had some pretty significant rear quarter panel damage if I didn't have www.jcroffroad.com quarter panel protection.

For more information on the ultimate in XJ quarter panel protection, please visit www.jcroffroad.com for all your XJ quarter panel protection needs.

:D

[IllianaXJ]

Lots of clunking from the UCA bushings.

Popping steering box.

T'case is not happy. It's either the chain or the output bearing.

[comancheon33]

Bent left main leaf spring and a fresh crease in the right fender. Pretty short list for wheeling the snot out of my MJ this weekend.

[dozer_xj]

front drive shaft cv, trans and t-case yoke, cable shifters and trans pan. anyone get a picture of my jeep when right before i broke? (it was the cherokee with the front leafs and full with axles and the kid riding with me was calling everyone chicken shits)

[jeepmanwi]

Nothing broke for me. Must be a short wheel base thing.

Paul

[XJ Stryker]

XJ Tess: Lost her side mirror. The exhaust hanger ripped a hole in the exhaust. Time to remove her fender flares before they take the fender with them. All kinds of new sounds. T-case leakeage.

My rig: New dent above the passenger door. Should prolly invest in HD Offroad engineering (http://www.hdoffroadengineering.com/) roof sliders. Cant open the rear door as good anymore.

Not much carnage Jeeps ran very well.

[seanR]

Cant open the rear door as good anymore.

That is how it started with mine....

[GoSlowGetStuck]

Lost a rear coil on Friday, then had the truck slip off of a scissor jack (bit me a little bit) and then fell off the hi-lift after I got the wheel off. Fortunately nobody was injured and eventually we got it fixed with the help of a Badlands park patrol guy who was passing through.

Sunday I got my exhaust all bent up, hacked it off in front of the rear axle and tied it up with a wire, and then the wire broke. Then when I was loading it on the trailer I noticed one of my front axle-side LCA mounts is hosed.

Other than that just dinging up the body a little.

[SAMSET]

unlike mike i just smashed my gas tank but it did not leak.
i used to have rockers before sat.
i have a lot of rattling and clunking noises(yet to be determined)
o and it wont start currently sitting in kentland in.

[XJosh95]

Small dent in front bumper.**Tranny overheating, wouldn't hit past 2000rpm until it cooled down again.**Motor mounts are beat. Clutch fan is hitting the shroud under heavy load.**Probably some new scratches but that doesn't matter.**Really, nothing to complain about. Just stuff to fix.

[jakeWI]

well since i didnt bring my xj and was passenger the only minor damage I can see is the lump bruise on my shin from slipping of a rock trying to take pictures! :tears::roll:

Did you get that new bumper? You buddy took it and put it in your jeep. we were fairly sure you would find it there.

[Fore Wheeler]

Torn frame, thanks to http://www.hdoffroadengineering.com/ i was fixed before sat

bent wheel, thanks to www.bfh.com i was fixed on the trail

[macgyvr]

Broke a d60 stub shaft and warn lockout on the xjbuggypopcan.
My thanks to hdoffroad for the 60 hub nut, and i think 89eliminator for the jack stand

Baby jeep came away i think unhurt...

Still need to wash both...

mac 'maybe the biggest carnage was the proposal :) 'gyvr

[chaz_88_MJ]

Other than a few more miles taken from my already worn out clutch I made it out with no damage...

[FlexdXJ]

Rubicon?

[bmyohn]

Yeah he had the blue rubicon with 33" MTZs, wheeled with Wade, Joe/Jim, and I. (with us at the beginning on friday)

Ok, Now i know his screen name. That Rubi is nice!

[commsys]

Broke off the CB antenna putting the Jeep in the garage - does that count as carnage??

[jester1084]

New and improved aerodynamic body creases courtesy of 'Revs Run' and a lazy decision of not wanting to go into reverse on my part.

[woody431]

Smashed up rockers, broke rear upper shock mount, tree rubbage, clutch fan hitting shroud on heavy climbs, some more mysterious pops and squeaks..Almost lost a rear window, was flexing in pretty good..saved it though. I had a great time!

We stopped on Sunday after you lost the tire and you were jacking it up.. glad to see you got er fixed up.. Congrats on the award Saturday night!

[RedHeep]

-Ripped the exhaust off the downpipe and smashed the tailpipe, then tore a hole in the fuel line from the filter to the tank

Wait for it . . .

-Ripped the exhaust off the downpipe and smashed the muffler, then tore a hole in the fuel line from the filter to the tank

-Popped the rear driveshaft u-joint on rockface thanks to some axle wrap that has also done a little flattening to the passenger leaf, which was most quickly replaced thanks to everyone there, including the $200 u-joint I got for free from the rough country boys.

Big thanks to Brian from HD Offroad for the ride to the quarry and getting greasy on a u-joint

Other than that, very pleased. The heep goes where you point it.

[85xjwoody]

Lets see. Thursday I had a clip come off a cap on the front axleshaft. So I drove back to camp and replaced with a very used axleshaft. Wheeled on that most of Friday and replaced that one with one Tyler was nice enough to give up. Broke a tailight on orange due to backing up into a tree. Saturday, I don't think I broke anything.

[XJRN]

My first rocker damage....really need sliders.

Lots of rubbing....need front bump stops and a little trimming.

Some crazy sounding coil spring noise that I don't know what is causing it.

Realizing I want to sell the 31's to get some 33's.

[discosteve]

drove 3 hrs home with a bad vibration coming from the back. i was too tired to care. got home, found out that one of the strap bolts for the rear sdaft was missing. the others were loose. that was a close call..... just the way i like it.

[FlexdXJ]

Found the noise coming from the front. Sway bar bushings are toast. I got a pair on the old jeep if i can get them off!

[mrmikey32]

brakes are all fixed....

the gas tank is a pain in my ass

[FlexdXJ]

Get a new one and wrap a skid around it!

Pretty sure mine are toast too. Well not on the Jeep since doesn't have sway bars, I mean on the Stupid Duty. Off to a great start.

[RAM-ROD]

mikey wee wheeld withy ou for a bit and were there for the gas tank "situation" sorry the epoxy woulf not hold. I live not to far from you if you need any stock suspension parts let me know i have a box of stuff in my garage from my build.

[RAM-ROD]

BTW i can not type worth crap

[mrmikey32]

i have yet to drive it. ive been driving around my rice burner. its on 4 jack stands in my driveway. due to the rain mud is just dripping everywhere. I am hoping to go finish the tank today, but i really like how nice my couch is .

[macgyvr]

since i sold the truck i used the baby jeep to tow the popcamper back yesterday (after I wiped, swept, and mopped it out) to its storage location (it was borrowed from a buddy). while driving there i started smelling brakes. After the 15 mile drive the front brakes were smoking when we got there.

I drove it back home after dropping the trailer off. The brakes were stuck at some points so back i was wailing on the Jeep to get it to move. It was down shifting into 2nd to hold 35mph.

Got it home. Both front calipers were showing signs of being seized up. I replaced them both with used units I had in the garage. Haven't taken it for a test drive yet...also looks like the valve cover is leaking...

Not sure I blame the wheelin from winterfest, but its a carnage i found after :)

I think that it sitting in the garage for a year waiting on floorboards may have been a part of it...

mac 'long post just to say stuck calipers' gyvr

[87manche]

I've got a dead spot in my steering. Looks like steering box.

Nothing broke for me. Must be a short wheel base thing.

[95' heep]

Why did LessLimited (I dont know what his name) was running smaller tires on front of his XJ at end of the day?

[cabjeepster]

He does that so he can get it on his trailer.

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

he was heading to the drag strip after dinner....after all, he is "less limited" then other Jeeps...:D

[BOB]

Why did LessLimited (I dont know what his name) was running smaller tires on front of his XJ at end of the day?

after a weekend of home brew...it looks sweeter that way!!:D

"John" does that so it fits better on his trailer. (I believe)


BOB

[hanaxj87]

Pulled my leaking right rear axle ... Looks like Haspin mud strikes again. There was mud everywhere...

Nothing money won't fix.:D

Nick

[mrmikey32]

snapped the bleeder valves off the calipers.


all new calipers and stainless lines going in

[97XJ2]

Walked up to my heep outside the University Center today (Just washed it yesterday). Realized I really took some paint off the drivers rocker. That is all

[mrmikey32]

ohh. yeah, lots of scratches all over mine too. forgot about that.

i look at it as a chapter to the book

[REWSTER]

I finally cleaned mine yesterday not to many new scratches, there are a couple of nice hits to the rockers but i am just going to keep banging them up for now and worry later in its life

[seanR]

I torched the passengers side door off yesterday.
Started a small fire, It was cool.....

[87manche]

might want to wory about it sooner rahter than later. It sucks when you have to pound the door sill back out so your door opens and closes kind of normally.

Take a look at revs poo pipe solution, that's likely what's going to happen to the MJ.

[REWSTER]

my plan was to replace them with 3/16 2x6, but i figured i could let them get beat up until i get around to it since i will be taking them out anyway,but i would be a little upset if i dropped down and screwed up my door

Beating on your rockers affects the rest of the door opening. If you trash them, you'll have headaches later when you think it'll be easy to just replace them.

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

Josh is 100% right. I have the 2x6 3/16" rockers now, but I actually came down on my old sliders so hard it pushed them up into the rusty rockers and it was so tight that my door drug on the bottom when trying to open them. Some creative work w/ a welder, u-bolts, a winch, a grinder, lots of flapper and cut off wheels and a BFH and countless hours got everything back in line so I could weld in the current set up. Way more work then I really wanted to put into it...:gee:

[GoSlowGetStuck]

My Grand had the plastic covers over the rocker panels, and after the last time out they still looked fine. I pulled them off anyway and the metal rocker underneath is pretty banged up. Pinch seam is still in decent shape though.

I need to take care of it before it gets worse. Sounds like replacing the rocker altogether is much preferred to bolting a slider underneath it?

[XJosh95]

I guess I should anticipate some work since my rockers are trashed.

[FlexdXJ]

Yeah thats why i got my sliders on before WF, My rockers are perfect so I wanted to keep them that way.

if they've already been dented you'll never get a prefabbed slider to fit right, not without a crap ton of work anyway.

Besides, why lose the clearance? Just cut them out. It's not like your ZJ is in perfect shape.

[seanR]

...a crap ton...

Just what is "a crap ton"?

http:/http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Crapton/
I see, it all makes scene now

Yep, that's what's going to happen. Just have to harass the right person with fab skillz who can hook me up. Because I sure can't do it myself.
