Well all of my damage was done night riding...
Friday night I took out my passengerside mirror, and flattened my leaf springs out running up powerline hill... I made it most of the way up but had to be tugged the last 50 feet.

Then saturday night I: dented rear driveshaft, dented rear diff cover, bent up my transmission crossmember, finished clearancing my gas tank down to about 12 gallons, dented driverside frame rail, and crack a weld on the frame brace I paid an "offroad shop" to weld ::).

Also, Alex broke his third shaft trying to tug me backwards off a ledge. {peek}

gusgus...you forgot to thank the 4 jeeps it took to get you OUT of rat trap so  you could limp it back to camp.  {toast}

My only carnage was a nice little dent/scuff on the passenger side a-pillar from going up powerline hill.

good weekend for me!! (It will probably blow up the next time I wheel...haha)

I can't complain, made it up the left side of "Butt Crack Hill"

1. Crinkled my exhaust
2. Dented my passenger side rear tube fender
3. busted a bolt on the rear bumper and stripped a few others (now rear bumper wiggles)
4. Bent the upper passenger side door hinge (Door does not shut)
5. Lots of bumps and bruises on the skid plates


Maybe more once I get a chance to clean it up and do some more looking ;D

Which climb is butt crack?

Near carnage, the far left up the big hill with the larger rocks.  Where I bent my slider, and we almost rolled Chucks red TJ. I think it hung you up a bit too, and you backed down to help someone else once.

This was an expensive weekend!

Man Ive got a list a mile long, and the more I clean my rig and investigate the more I find.

I tweaked the tub and cage, tore my speaker wires out from the flop.

Got some new pin striping from that rock in Rat Hole.

Pushed in the cowl enough for the window frame and driver door not to fit anymore.

3 front axle shafts, yes three different breaks! Spit the passenger axle ujoint out and tore the ears up the first time, sheared a driver stub the second, and sheared a passenger inner at the splines the third time (thanks for the spare Richard) its looking like its time for a 60!

For some reason my electric fan kept turning off intermittently on Sunday, got to inspect the wiring for a random short

HAD AN AWESOME TIME!




yeah Logan, the middle one is you ::)    I know where you go to school ;D



from the flop



Rat Hole damage



Big ditch where I ran out of gas damage




Also killed my winch controller on sunday, so weather proof in cab controllers already done ;D
