What damage have u done wheeling?

After seeing Jdizzydub's runner get hit by a tree i thought i would start a thread to see what damage we have done to all our trucks wheelin so lets see all those beauty marks

here's mine i hit a 4runner it was muddy and i couldnt stop, i then hit a rock in the same place a week later, my poor stock bumper hammer and a half hour got it back to almost straight and bumper just needed a little winch tug to get it straight yeah just a little redneck body work

3 years of wheeling and I have endured zero carnage other than snapping a front cv drive shaft in to a million pieces =)

Almosted rolled it twice tho

Damaged front and back fender trims on drivers/passengers side but the running boards okay. I got nice long sratches on passenger side. also some dents. I removed the fender trims and running boards off my 4Rig. It look much more aggressive with m/t tires, imo.

Did some body damage to the pinch weld when I fell on a rock-danged LWB T100.. I tried to paint it with some touch up paint but it rusted again even though I wire wheeled the rust off. Finally wire wheeled and painted it with the rust converting paint..

Scratched up some rims, nothing bad really I dont care..

Pin stripes as I like to call them from tight trails..

Somehow or another with my swaybar off I pushed the drivers side bumpstop up, bent the LCA, bent the drag and centerlink and the pitman arm.. TBh dont know for sure if the center/drag link was bent but they were cheap so I replaced them. Pitman arm was also bent imho and the idler arm was SHOT.. Thats what I get for going fast over washboards with old crap shocks...
Found out all of this when I tried to get it aligned.. All fixed now but it wont see any serious or mild offroading again..

Lets start with what I havent broken. uhmm, front windsheild.

Stuff I have broken:
Shocks, rims, bumpers, gears (front ring twice and a set of spider gears), cv's, sheetmetal on all four corners, windows, lights (multiple times), motor mounts, bent 3 or 4 idler arms (now have the downey brace), and a bunch of what we call red neck pin striping, and I am sure if I went and checked my reciept's I could name off some more stuff.

I destroyed both of the back-up lights I mounted under the bumper. I guess they don't enjoy taking the full weight of the back half of my truck.

The only other thing that busted was the front skid. It's dented, and the bottom two screws stripped out long ago.

Oh, I had to take a sledge to the cross member to get her to go back on after the clutch install...

Everything that isn't the engine, transmission, 8" rear differential, headlights(luckily...every other ext. light has been broke), or windows. And I mean EVERYTHING ELSE has been damaged to some extent and/or been replaced due to part being totally destroyed or part no longer worth rebuilding. Some parts having already been replaced numerous times prior to damage(i.e., side mirrors...why do I even bother anymore?).

Nosed in off a dune jump over Halloween: Front tires pushed the rear of my fenders up and bowed them out just in front of the doors. Amazingly the alignment is/was fine.

you might be able to see it in this pic, but the rear driverside bed just before the taillight is dented in from a damn tree. it was either the tree or a giant boulder and not making it through on the other side xD
