What all have you broken while wheeling?
« 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.

Don't know if I can do it by trip. Sure I will add stuff as it comes to me, I suffer from "oldtimers"
Tellico- Rear pinion yoke, shock mount
DTown- Sheared steering box bolts, fractured unibody (undetected at the time)
Rices Creek- Sheared steering box bolts, finished breaking unibody
Mountain Side- Cut tire down, power steering pump
Choccolocco- Rear Pinion Yoke
Allsouth Christmas Party- Bent rear drive shaft
River Rock- Trailer bearing
River Rock- Trailer tire (different trip)
River Rock- Right front leaf spring and centering pin
Some Where?- Locking Hub, several high steer studs
