Nice,

Amazingly enough I only dented in my transfer case skid a bit and dented in my drivers side doors a touch.

Overall I'm happy. The last time I was out there, it was a lot worse.

[Jes]

I cut a tire and my rear locker stopped working. Won't know what's wrong with the locker untill I pull everything apart.

[Matt S.]

My damage consists of

1 bad steering box (going to rebuild and tap for hydro assist)

1 f'd up track bar and mount (going to build a new one and fab up a new mount when it goes under the knife)

Cracked frame around the JKS SBS system (this is going to be hard to fix. going to wheel it one more time then lop the front of the body off for tube)

Front header panel ripped off (opps)

dana 30 has no more seals in it (going to build a whole new housing and polish the 30)



Other than that damage, plans are now to tube the front out, inboard the rear springs, tube more of the rear, and tube more of the middle.:smoker:

[Ben H]

Driveshaft
rear yoke
fan through radiator
tail light
rear quarter panel
wedding ring

[David Taylor]

Front header panel ripped off (opps)




Sorry about that. I should have gone with my first thought of just driving up the tire
and over the fender.:scottm:

Now THAT would have been cool AND funny!

[Goatman]

I wasted a front u-joint, then later ripped out the front u-joint u-bolts. I also broke the front track bar in half on Resolution on Sunday. The front suspension that came with the rig, and I didn't change, has to go. It was only going to run this trip, and now that's for sure.

[Jeepsterboy101]

Trackbar mount

[Rawbrown]

THe new PSC box worked so well that it cracked the frame in a different spot in between the box and TB bracket. also cracked frame around TB bracket... Also cracked frame just behind the stock passenger side LCA bracket. All 4 leaf spring to body mounts are bending and distorting metal. This means that the leafs gotta go. the front has to be completly redone and the front suspension has to be converted to Long arm.
as for the body. its looking like it needs alot of elbow grease to buff out the scratches. the "D" pillars are about done having no rear hatch allowed to much body flex which fatigued the top of the d pillars. crack, crack....
halfway through aftershock on sunday I found the crack/crunch noise of a cracked frame rail kept getting worse and worse on the tougher obstacles. I turned around and hauled axle back to camp. So what are my plans? lots of cutting, bending and welding. And I'll leave it at that.

[cal]

wedding ring


Doh. That sucks.

[Goatman]

Oh, I forgot, I also badly bent my tie rod.

The funky Tera long arm setup is going bye bye, and so is the steering setup.

[cracker]

Bender Alley ate me up a tad:

My PSC box started leaking real bad (but not anywhere near as bad as Santa's) on Friday so I swapped it out for a stocker and then on Sat I broke a(nother) 44 hub.

I am so looking forward to full hydro and a 609:exclamati

[XJ_ranger]

bent my high clearance tie rod into an even higher clearance tie rod...

ran outta washer fluid... :scared:

lost a bead, ripped a valve stem, bent 2 rims...

my doors dont close all the way anymore courtsey of my self boatsiding cut out rockers...

I somehow loost / sheared a t-case skidplate bolt, and welded it to the frame to make up for it...

broke the castor asjuster - but not the side i welded - the other side...

[FarmerMatt]

I thought I heard a crunch while taking it for a spin...



I ripped my steering gear off the frame rail. The back bolt hole cracked, the top bolt hole stripped out, & the lower front bolt broke. Steering seems to be the theme of this event. At least I broke in camp. I'm glad I didn't try to follow Goatman up Chocolate Thunder as the sun was going down...

Matt

[4xSanta]

PSC steering box "o" ring,rear door glass,two tail lights,"D" pilar crunch,exhaust pipe came out,

[mikeyl]

not actualy a break, but 3 of the four transfer case bolts "left" somewhere on sledge. i noticed it just after the mailbox. i reached down to shift back to low and my atlas shifters were just barely inside. thanks to ron and scrappy i managed to get another bolt and drove out.
bent a tre
bent the drag link
but no body work!

Excuses, excuses........ :looser:

[Goatman]

So what's with PSC? I installed a new PSC pump before this trip and it's whining, and the steering gradually goes away the harder it's worked. Let it sit and cool off and it works again for awhile after starting up. I see two PSC steering boxes that had problems.........

[Paul S]

I smoked a spindle on my trailer. Looked into it yesterday & my only option is a new axle:(

Thats a good thing to know. A PSC pump was on my winter list, but maybe not anymore.

[JohnX]

LCA and UCA rubber mounts are shot. I also have a funny clicking from the front end that I have yet to locate.

[erikwylie]

I crushed a front rocker panel, broke rear leaf spring and blew main seal. Minor compared to most!

[sintax]

sounds like majority of the problems were steering related this trip. very interesting.

[Rawbrown]

you know, my brand new PSC pump and box worked flawlesly all weekend. Go ahead and keep making fun of my radio shack computer fans mounted to the cooler, but they work well aparantly. Not even a growl or leak out of my steering system. Next thing I do will probably be an engine oil cooler.

[xDUMPTRUCKx]

i chewed up a driveshaft, lost both tailights, bent my alumiflex tie rod, lost my t case shift linkage, and broke a battery tray.......


you know how annoying a battery tray break is? holy crap the stupid little plastic thing gave me a horribe time while i was ratchet strapping my battery to a piece of plate to keep it out of the fan.

I think its time for some FORGED wheels.. they wont do that.....

[4xSanta]

My PSC has been great,no problems prior to last weekend,what happened to mine was I blew the 2 3/4" "O" ring on the front of the box because it was just old I guess(I now carry spares) I am not running a cooler on mine at this time either,the owner of PSC built mine so maybe he put something special in it for old Santa?

[cracker]

You now Dave it's funny... I saw this post, saw your chipped wheel, and immediately went to the top to check the date as I thought I remembered it happening last year :D (Thought maybe somebody brought last year's thread up topside)

[4xSanta]

I thought I smelled something that I had stepped in,now I no where the smell came from.

I wish it was last year. Just goes to show I havn't learned how to drive any better over the last year. It just sucks that I have to buy another 15" when I want 17's.

Just buy one 17 at a time Dave.

Do you have any idea how much $$$ it takes to go forged 17s and 4Ds?

I need to buy a lottery ticket!

Honestly, I'd just run it Dave. It's not leaking any air... You could try to talk Ron into welding another piece in it for you... I've got one just like that on the Green jeep that I welded up & have been running it for 3 years.

[Outsane]

Door
Fender
Roof line
body damage rear 1/4 panel
3 peices of glass..

[jjmat3]

New dent in DS rear door, and I hardly wheeled. Also got a nicely crimped/tweaked brake line that is going to be replaced. Looking forward to more/better carnage next time.

[Bryan C.]

I busted 2 D44 (not so)superior rear shafts. I also busted out my rear 1/4 window and bent my tie-rod.

Thanks to dumptruck for the replacement window. That made my 450 mile trip home alot nicer.

[djblade311]

Bent cRusty's Track bar end. Thanks to Ben H who had a spare!
http://nicandjosh.com/modules/gallery/d/5118-2/2006-11-19+036.jpg

Bent JCR 1 ton tierod and the passenger side TRE.

Scratched up my new-to-me Protofab bumper but it did its job!

[FlexyJOE]

25 gallons of gas (And who says the 2.5 gets good fuel mileage????)
1 Loose Lower arm jamb nut that WOULD NOT STAY TIGHT.
Hood dent from screwing around Wednesday Morning.

My steering box is still in the place it was originally placed......:roflmao:

Maybe We can work something out dave...

Ill trade you a gift certificate for 4 brand new BFG's (you can get 40's :D) for your 4 good rims, 1 bad rim, and 5 37" creepys....

You can buy the 17's you want, and run some BFG MT's on there for a while :D

aye?

I'll be having a look at mine pretty soon as well. I think I bent the rear housing. its leaking from the plug welds. not a good sign. I'll probably retube it with heavier wall tube and truss it. I've got superiors in there too.

[mecompco]

If your front end is an example, then by those standards all axles should be V shaped right?



:twak:

[Gerr]

Well I thought I got out of JV with out any breakage but I was wrong I found a crack in my frame behind the steering box and my steering brace is bent out about 3 inches forward.

Makes me wonder when I really did the damage since I was on the easy run

[Bent]

I ended up bending the snot out of the outer lip on one of my Centerlines. I beat it out for the most part on the trail but it'll take a little more finesse with the beating tool to get the bead on the tire to seat tight enough to hold air back in the rocks. Roll psst roll psst roll psst roll psst...

[shelbyluvv]

Look at this guy posts. He has been beating on ben for a few days now. Looks like ben owes him some 4:10 gears or something.

Russ I ain't forgot about our deal either. Some things came up with the play jeep and I never made it down that way. PM me your address and I will ship the goods to ya.

[erikwylie]

He Bo, if you bring it out to Russ, he lives pretty close to me I am sure I could put you to work for a little while!!!

I promise I won't put a beer can in the road for you to get stuck on!!!

[Gerr]

now Erik be nice Its not his fault he brought a WJ to a XJ run, but sereously Bo that was funny

[shelbyluvv]

That totally sucked! In my defense I was the smallest rig out there. I did make it back out clean though.

[Gerr]

Yeah you were sittin a bit low and it was a good thing you turned back when you did. We would have had a field day with ya on some of the other stuff we did.
Your more than welcome to wheel with me anywhere you and your fam are good peeps

[mecompco]

Look at this guy posts. He has been beating on ben for a few days now. Looks like ben owes him some 4:10 gears or something.

Gears arrived today. Two missed ship dates and a total lack of communication (and perhaps a beer or two) prompted me to try and get his attention (it worked). I am sure he is a great guy, but if you are going to sell stuff, you need to be prepared to follow through.

[Ben H]

Well I had better add a torn Lateral Meniscus to the list. Just got back from the doctor, with that as a diagnoses. Happened on Hwy 20 while watching Richard tackle a ledge.

[FarmerMatt]

Lateral Meniscus

Is that some new exotic mixed drink?

[Ben H]

Why yes. Vodka, Vicoden, and Vodka mixed with Vodka twist.

Bummer Ben, sorry it happened. Last year, Ryan Brown and I both had bad falls on Wreaking Ball. It took me over six months to heal and I think Ryan still has a little problem.

So, what did you do to hurt your knee?

[Ben H]

I was snapping some pictures of you and Matt driving a tall ledge, I was sitting on a large boulder above it all.... when I slid down the boulder my foot stayed on the boulder as my body slid down. Originally I thought that I just tweaked it a little, but the next morning it had become pretty swolen. When I got home it was about the size of a softball. It started feeling better, until I went to work on my junk the other day and realized kneeling down hurts. Oh well, its just pain, and it was definately worth it!!!

That ledge, you see my brown derby cap to your immediate left, that boulder.

I don't care who you are, THATS funny right there!
This from a guy who has had three knee surgeries....:looney:

I dont think this will require surgery, but it definately calls for a cocktail.

[karstic]
