Title: What all have you broken while wheeling?
Post by: Logan on June 29, 2010, 10:55:45 PM
Inspired by this thread: http://pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=639000&highlight=worst+breakage


Mine is still kind of easy to list because I've only had the rig for a year and a half, I can still list mine by wheeling trips:

Gulches Jan 09
-Fuel pump

River Rock May '09
-motor mount

Aetna August '09
-bent LCA mount on axle
-pretzeled track bar
-bent both UCA's
-tore off part of the front bumper
-bent tie rod

Choccolocco March '10
-destroyed the aluminum steering box spacer

Choccolocco June '10
- busted radiator

Also I don't know if I can contribute it to just one wheeling trip, but my steering box is dieing. :'(


So what all have you broken or had fail on your rig while wheeling?  I know some of you have a much more impressive list than me.

No sooner than we made it to Beasley, my center link bent like a pretzel, and I lost steering control.

We used a rock and a bunch of people on my front bumper to try to make it straight(er).

We turned around and went home with my kids in my friends Jeep while I nursed her home.....

I wish I had broke something on my current jeep, but it's been in the garage too long. I broke a cv shaft on my old blazer 15 minutes into a weekend of wheeling after a 4 hour drive to get to the park.  I guess I need to get out and wheel more, the most headache I've had was after I tore the license plate off my bumper and had to spend all night backtracking where we had gone to find it.

In 10 years with a 1981 CJ5, 4 years with a 2000 TJ and almost 5 years with my current 1999 TJ, nothing yet.  But, somehow I did break the D35 carrier in half in my 2000 TJ while driving it on the street {ehm}.  Thankfully it was still under warranty at the time  {hihi}.

KNOCK ON WOOD
