Not badass.
 
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:

as well as the welds on the ram mounting tabs


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).
 
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.

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 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?
 
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 ).
