I know there wasn't much out there but there was still some.

I had an odd leak in one of my tires but we plugged it and was good to go and I had a windshield that came partially unglued.

I think EasyWJXJ had a stock steering set up go bad too.

Anyone else?

I bent the tie rod right at the drivers side tire. I didn't notice it till the way home, got to about 55 and had some slight death wobble, went right away soon as i applied the brakes. ZJ steering time.

peace

Passenger side U-Joint (ran all of john bull with it, noticed it after pulling onto the highway stuck in 4X4 and was inspecting for damage after the loud ass BANG) one of the caps was broken and no bearings where left. (Thanks John for the spare shaft while i repair mine!!)

Dented front passenger door lower armor, put a small dent in the gas tank.

Cracked a weld on my bumper.

I think that is it until i go hose all the dirt off and inspect it closer.

I blew a rear shock on Friday's Jeepspeed run after Deep Creek. Now it's making all sorts of noises. Time for new shocks...and tires.

Also bent my stock rear bumper. i want one like Avery's. ;)

Avery's bumper did look awsome but yours has that special custom touch

I managed to run over and sever my speedo cable, and break my transmission mount, which in turn broke my motor mount. I finished the trail and moseyed on home easy as pie, though.

All in all, my Jeep performed very well. :)

As for human carnage, I took a nice header over the cooler at base camp on Saturday night. The kind where you don't even bother putting your hands out, because suddenly, the ground was just there. :D

I found a buch of new cracks in the unibody that I knew would be there after this trip but I hoped they wouldn't be. Time for some major frame reinforcement in a way that I don't think anyone has done before. Details will be posted later.

Pressure switch on the OBA quit, first it wouldn't come on then it wouldn't shut off, thank god for blow off valves.

Developed a overheating issue when under a heavy load, ie.. 1st gear 4lo running up hill, strange part is it doesn't cool down when idling for 15 mins, but does cool down if I shut off for 10 mins, never reached boiling over temp so its not to serious. I've narrowed it down to air in the cooling system or the new trans cooler overheating the radiator, I'm hopping for air because if its the trans cooler then I've got bigger problems just around the corner.

So far so good.......just some scratches and it is still tooo clean. Actually it does have a little bit a rougher idle. Thinking it might be a vacuum line or something.

No carnage for me!! Cali got stuck in camp after constantly overheating going up 18, even after Sean took the trailer for me.

Bright side is, I think it was just a failed radiator cap, rather than a cracked head or blown head gasket. If so, it'll be one of those things I'm really happy to admit I was stupid enough to overlook!!

Oh, the long black handle thingy on my liftgate decided it needed a hole in it; not sure what caused it, it was just suddenly there. So I guess that's my carnage!

Oh yeah, and I broke my $70 digital camera's screen. That's why I carry a relatively cheap digital camera!

My thermostat just took a dump and we had the same issue on the trail so you might want to change it out

Carol changed her thermostat out in camp. Maybe thats why the food tasted funny? :gee:

Eff you, Sean!! That was Webdog's trans fluid that would've made the food taste funny! Or were you splattering Leprechaun juice in stuff?

And I think Dan/Gerr was talking to Tom/Hollywood32 about his odd cooling system issue.

But you DO cook!! You open packages of donuts, and lunch meat, and string cheese, and yogurt, and danishes, and... But that mac'n'cheese looked suspiciously like it had actually been created over flame. Bad Karen!!
