As matt's is pretty bad, it is a easy fix. Red rider gets my vote as he now needs a whole new rig! Just wish I could have witnessed the flop

It was broke on the road! That's not from the trail... If this is the case, why is Dave (glue and tape) not up for this? He broke so bad on the way up he didn't even make it!

lol Thats what my girlfriend said. It was clearly after the event... Although they did say it possibly did break on the trail, the bearing just wasnt forced out till on the freeway.

Good thing Cherokees are disposable.
If this award was given out on time, Matt wouldn't even be in the running.

Beyond the location...
1. The snapped D44 shaft was on 33's
2. It ate a lot of other parts when it finally let go: brake rotor, caliper, bearings, mud flap hanger, etc.
But the subtle pieces that struck me most about the power of the incident was how cleanly the mud flap bar was wrapped around the Thor guard and the hundred foot groove in the road.
That said the Wood one will be repaired and will continue to run trails is a sporting fashion... so this may not be its last chance for the trophy.:wave1:
Cheers,
Matt

As much as I think Matt's carnage was crazy and really lucky, it didn't actually happen on the trail...and it was only one shaft, which would put many in the runnings. What makes it really good carnage is the fact that it was HORRIBLE timing.
Having to replace a whole rig is more carnage IMO, it's not about the most dangerous results...it's about the most damage to me.
But with that said, Matt, glad you're OK and getting back on the trails soon.

Congrats Kris.
So what's the plan for the Jeep? Body swap, or time to bust out the sawzall?
PM me an address and we'll get the Carnage Award shipped out to you.
Only catch is, you have to bring it back next year. It's up to you if you want to defend the title or not.

Well, im gonna grab a column from a junk yard tomorrow so I can atleast drive the thing. It is still my daily driver... I like a cherokee because it is a cherokee and im not a big fun of cutting it apart so ill just leave it how it is and wheel it. Its summer and doesnt rail too much over here so I dont really need windows. Eventually Im buying my woman a Jeep and that will be the new "company" poser rig. Then Ill build up another one, maybe just sell this one complete cause I'd like to have the new crossmember on my Jeep to demontrate and stuff.
Thanks to everyone who voted for me. I hope Ill see you on this side of the mountains again this summer.
