trail carnage - post yours here
« on: January 24, 2008, 12:19:29 PM »
hought it would be fun to post damage we've sustained to our jeeps over the years
directly related to trail runs - fishing trips etc, it will be interesting to see patterns
of what fails if enough posts or lead to new show "canada's worst 4x driver ?"

my daily driver ... '89 YJ over 19yrs

- spare tire bracket broke when spare contacted ledge edge
- D35 imploded with lockrite and ring pieces escaping via diff cover on voyage home
- orig soft top ripped, punctured and scratched beyond recognition
- orig wrangler rs? tires punctured x12 before tossing
- winch cable broke, tug strap broke, winch gun fried via pinched wire ..  >:( duh!
- D30 longside axel shaft bent
- explorer steering stabalizer bent and purged ...
- cracked orig 4.2 head @#1 ex-port from being hungup on header crossover pipe x50 ..
- dead tree contact : fender fist size dent, small door dent, windshield cracked by limbs
- dead tree contact (cont) : mirrors snapped off x2, guess thats why they're designed to fold
- mirrors continued relentless carnage - glass lost via mud and gravel cakes x2
- tail light lense sliding back into bank .. duh!
- gas tank skidder various dents but no punctures
- orig tailpipe tip squashed 30% closed ...

thats about all I can remember ...
