Let's get the list going. I know there was a lot of carnage this weekend, from mirrors to gears. Post up what you broke :)

I got off easy, and only ripped off my exhaust

....and some more body damage.....but it just blends in with the rest ;)

I just scraped my passenger mirror off on a tree.

At least, that's all I've noticed so far...

Both drivers side ball joints, drivers axle shaft, and I think the inner c is bent. And a bumper end.

A couple of new dents which means I'm down to one last straight vertical body panel left. And possibly one smoked trailer hub on the way home.

Allright then, if we're getting that technical....
I did get a paper cut while putting sodas in the cooler.
It hurt too.

I broke the welds on the ladder bar brackets. Bob Loose's friend re-welded them back on for me. I also severly bent the stock tie rod on Friday. I straightened it that evening, but it was toast very early Saturday. Several of you all helped me sleave it with the high lift jack handle and our group was off again in about 15 minutes.

Of course there are more dents and dings ...

Thanks to everyone that helped me out!!

Les

PS: I also cracked a rear hatch (Rangers). :anon:

Popped both of my AUX backup lights the first day out. Good thing there $12 TSC's! Pulled some of the bolts that hold on my Bushwackers on out. A few scrapes on my rockers, and I had though I thrashed a break line on the rocks by the tubes. However they seemed to work fine after I about ran the stop light at the gas station. Guess the rears where just full of sand.

My interior got pretty soggy. Got home and pulled the seats and carpet. Toasted an XM unit that was mounted under the rear seat. Lots of mud everywhere and the carpet weighed a ton.

My track bar bushing is popping (axle end). The bolt isn't moving in the bracket like what usually happens, guess the bushing is going out. Have to get to that next weekend.

that's a bummer about the XM unit. Looks like you need to mount that in the glovebox

No real damage here. Just a bent front hitch, small rocker dent,(soon to be taken care of,:)) and some scratches. Can't believe the front driveshaft never went.

Just got home, I ended up limping home after finding new things vibrating..

Fri morning, I cut my fenders more and removed another 3 inches off the ARB bull bar before even hitting the trail
Sat: sheared a front D44 axle shaft, got wiplash, and the rock rails took a hell of a beating, and only took paint off,

Took a few pounds of metal off the bumpers, and diffs on the rocks,
BLEW UP A MOTOR MOUNT AND TRANNY MOUNT, just found that out after pulling it in the shop.. Bent the mount for the CB antanna, so no it bangs on the center of the windshield while driving down the road, and some reshaped sheet metal
Also, found out I blew up a 1 ton chevy tierod end on the D44


2 liecence plates STOLEN off my Jeep.. LOL

I post picks of the carnage tomorrow

March 5th, 2006, 21:07

Friday prerun,

Busted the airline fitting off my tire carrier. Had to fix it so I could use the ARB's. Broke a mini fog light built into my bumper when I ran into a tree. Broke the front D30 ring gear in the new rock garden on orange.

Friday afternoon we pulled the ring gear so I could run the Jeep in RWD.

Sat,

Led orange in RWD. Broke the other fog light.

Sun morning,

Flat tire

I'm sure I have lots of new dents and scrapes but I have too much mud on the Jeep to see them.

Sat night, aquired Franken spare. :(

on the way there -
thought i blew a wheel bearing assembly - stoped, bought one and installed it in a parking lot - not the problem
thought it was the u-joint in the rear shaft - stoped, bought one and installed it in a parking lot - not the problem
locked the hubs in - problem temp fixed... still need to figure out what the real deal with that is... screams like a MoFo...

Driver mirror
Rear hatch
Passenger headlight
Passenger fender / whole front corner
Driver corner light thingy
new dent in driver door
drivers side factory tow hook and bracket
1 spare tire still has shit jamed in the bead
hit my tie rod again (now it is even more of a smilie face)
drivers side rocker (no rails yet)

i think thats it... but I havent dared to look underneath yet...

Nothing too bad at all for me. Bumpers and rails saved me pretty much. A few beauty marks from the tree branches sticking out. Other than that I think I just have to dig through my engine a little to figure out what it's beef was (started sounding like xjwoody's jeep for a while :)).

Well,
Nothing major on mine. After slamming into the rock face on Pink with my t-case skid, (Thanks Dan, that was a great line :D) it went from 8 bolts down to 6 holding it on. Then attempting to play on the tall section of Purgatory, it went to 3 total bolts, after slamming a few rocks. Also on Purgatory, I bent the front of my passenger rocker (which is 2x6 square tube welded in) up into the door. Door opened fine, but then wouldn't close, so I had to beat it back down with a sledge. I think that's about it.

Optional hill on Orange: slammed my pass side fender (top of it), crushed my A-frame, and cracked my windshield all from slamming into a tree at the top!

Quarry, over by the pond: Dented my catalytic, and muffler. Scarred my drive shaft at the pinion, it was rotating on rock (surprised it did not snap). Also took a chunk out of my tire. Bent my front OEM skid, and possibly my steering linkage.

Slammed the rock skidz numerous times, and they held up just fine. That's it......

Yeah, I can't figure it out either. Wouldn't have anything to do with standing on the rear axle under full throttle, on multiple occasions would it?

Nah, that couldn't be it.

BTW, your last climb before someone broke the axle, was quite impressive!
Kudos!

After further inspection, my front bumper has a prety good dent in it. It's bent up a little too on the passanger side. Guess I'll have to take it off and put another one on.:D

John, I definitely think that your R&P was hurting on the climb prior to the What Rd winching. We all heard a popping and thought it was your u-joint. U-joint was fine, R&P wasn't. I just think that the winching incident was the next thing to stress it.

Rusty old tailpipe broke off just after the muffler... hey, for a 20 year old piece of tube hanging unsupported it did just fine. My steering box needs replacement, the sector shaft has lateral play in it.

Other than that, I am super happy with the old truck. Anyone get any pics of it? I need to get a camera.
