:shocked:

I didn't actually break anything, just buckled in the drivers side door and I now have a good creaking/popping noise from the front end I'm having trouble tracking down.

[MrSimon]

Blew a lower radiator hose - easy fix thanks to DITA quickly spotting the tear.

Also had the threads pull out on my adjustable track bar - I suppose its possible that I didn't have it screwed in far enough:doh:

STROKER

Damn that sucks.

Look on the bright side, it will be extremely easy to pull that stupid locking ring out. (I always have trouble pulling that thing out).

[STROKER]

yeah that it will, just hoping it was the hub and not an axle shaft as well

STROKER

[johngus]

Broke the end off of my inner drivers side axle shaft in the gauntlet Sunday afternoon. I think I also twisted the splines in the LSD as I was unable to remove it for the ride home. I also have about 1/8 turn worth of play in my front pinion. Damage well worth a weekend so enjoyable. See pics below, may have to click to enlarge. I will post more pics after I get the shaft out.

as well as the welds on the ram mounting tabs


STROKER

If you call those welds haha, they held as good as my shock mounts did, as predicted. I crested a blind hill, fully drooped the suspension & came down hard and broke them off and bent them like a boomerang. Back to the drawing board, but was a fun ride home 2hrs without them though.

I trashed a front axle

[Rob Mayercik]

I cracked a tail light on 1C on Thursday (see my pics thread for a snap), and bent up my rear bumper. Nothing all that pic-worthy, compared to you "professionals" :D.

Ben, I was just looking at that pic of your exploded hub (nicely done, BTW, gotta give you bonus points for going that extra mile to get "out of the box" there), and was wondering - what is that crack-like thing I'm seeing on the rim at about the 6 o'clock position, extending from the hub more or less straight out and down? Is that mud, or did you crack the center of the rim too?

[knuckle_buster]

was just coming out of the mini gauntlet on thursday, and all of a sudden the u-joint on the rear driveshaft blew apart. Then I realized that the slip yoke was seized, and would not budge....well..... it did after hitting it with a two pound sledge for a long time ( thanks keith ).

[Jump This]

What does it say about me when the first thread I check out is the carnage page...

:D

[vetteboy]

It says that you're a typical West Coast Wheeling Snob who knows that the carnage will be more interesting than any of the actual wheeling that took place.

:dunce:

Yeah...that does look like a crack.

[D.I.T.A]

[SeansBlueXJ]

STROKER

[OverlandXJ]

I noticed a hum on the way home saturday night, believe i have a bad wheel bearing on my D44. And noticed my horn wasnt working when i got cutoff on the pike in heavy rain..

Sorry, thats all i got. :D

OOH, i forgot. The Mic button and antenna on my CB.

[MDXJ]

Don't see the sticker, but after a closer look I see what you mean about the mud.

[Andy in Pa.]

I don't know when it happened (or who did it...) but I noticed my radio antenna got broken off right at the base...

[Skorpyo]

I don't know when it happened (or who did it...) but I noticed my radio antenna got broken off right at the base...

I lost 3 fiberglass CB antennas to trees before I switched over to the steel whip. I've got a bunch of extra steel whip antennas if ya want one. When I asked the guy at radio shack if they had any his eyes went wide and said "I've got 10 of these in the back that no one has bought in 4 years...I'll sell you all 10 of them for $20." so I bought them all.

I'll bring the rest of what I have to NACFest next year. If I see you or Ben or anyone else before then (likely) I can pass one on.

Skorpyo

*EDIT* LOL, I just realized you might have meant your AM/FM radio antenna...

[MrShaft696]

Im holding it for ransom

[Andy in Pa.]

*EDIT* LOL, I just realized you might have meant your AM/FM radio antenna...

Yeah, it was the AM/FM radio antenna. It was there until Saturday afternoon (confirmed in pics), but probably some kid thought it would be cute to rip it off the truck in the parking lot Saturday night. He probably used Vetteboys flashlight to do it too.

[knuckle_buster]

Yeah...that does look like a crack.

BEN, STOP POSTING PICTURES OF YOUR CRACK!!!!

:-P


HEY BEN!!! :moon: :moon: :moon:

[MDXJ]

Whew... I was going to ask were you wanted me to send ya a new one. :)
Stinks about the flashlight too. :(

[Mighty.Mighty_XJ]

No carnage except a bashed tailpipe. Planning on re-routing it anyway, so no biggie

[BillDunn83]

i backed into a tree on sunday and didnt realize that i cracked my tailgate up pretty bad on the inside. of course the vac problem is mine and now my axles seem to be wrapping badly. plus i think i killed my shocks when I almost rolled it.

hey will, bill whatever haha was nice to meet you, go for the posi lock cable actuated 4wd, just google it. If you dont have a 242 transfer case you need to get it out of 4wd for the street.

[D.I.T.A]

just get rid of the vac disconect swap in a non disco axlesaft and be done with it and it will be stronger too. just search for it it has been covered a bunch of times and thanks for letting me ride with you on saturday

[js_customs]

Yeah Bill, I have a non-disco hp 30 if you would wanna put that in also....I'll pm you.

LOL... nah, its just broken in now... Nothing like a good wheeling trip to break in new springs/suspension. It probably rides better now.:D:D

I complained that my RE setup rode like rented donkey for the first month, then I drove around, lost in DC for a few hours on some of the worst roads I'd ever seen and it rode great afterwards! Just gotta shake it into submission.

[Dundy]

My fuel pump quit 1/2 way through NY. Got the new one and changed it out with the help of Colin at 10pm in the hotel parking lot...in the rain.

WJ TRE 10 minutes after we arrived at the park.

[SeansBlueXJ]

Not exactly a RC issue, but it was starting to act up there. I just changed the starter, in the Wawa parking lot... in the rain. Fun stuff. Old_Whitey88 took my rig to work today and called me at 7:30 am to tell me it's dead. Damn things are getting pricey, $180 for a reman.

[D.I.T.A]

thats sucks dude if it makes you feel better all the oil leaks are gone on R.I.T.A

[MrShaft696]

Just had to replace the water pump, the damn thing started making all kinds of noise riding all day and right as I was pulling back to the driveway, check engine came on and it and the t-stat were done.

[MrSimon]

I trashed a front axle

This pic was taken just seconds before he broke the axle.

35s + locker + stock D30 shafts + skinny pedal = SAAAAANAP!!

It was the first time I witnessed an axle snap .... I thought it was pretty darn cool:thumbup:

[Rock2pus]

My humble list includes the torn-out shock mount, some more lovely crunches to the rocker panels, a 1/2 torn valvestem that magically held air until you touched it (drove on it for a week after I got home til I found it), more rock rash on the wheels, a couple new side dents, a cracked winch motor case, and both driveshafts lathe-cut and officially bent...
I cant wait to go back.

Friend of Matt #3

[Mighty.Mighty_XJ]

Still can't understand why you won't protect the rocker panels, Rich.

Hey, make sure you call me when the next trip rolls around!

[D.I.T.A]

[billyjp2]

[Andy in Pa.]

Yikes, that happened to me in Moab back in 2001... it turned out the bellhousing on the XJ was already stress cracked, and bouncing off of Dump Bump did it in. Bellhousing came out in 5 pieces.

[D.I.T.A]

i just lost the axle seal on the dana 30. can anybody tell me why my jeep hates seals

[Rob Mayercik]

Maybe because you like mud?

If you're talking about the tube seals in by the pumpkin, probably your tubes are all full of junk (the OEM dust caps are powerless to stop this).

Maybe time for some Superior outer seals?

[D.I.T.A]
