So far today I have smacked my TJM on a tree when my tire slid down off a rock it plowed right into it moved it down on one side about 1 1/2" so now I need to loosen it up and readjust it. I rolled back being in a tight area and hit a tree denting my rear tailgate then in the same area had a tree smack my upper pillar on the passengers side. I also bent a idler arm on a steep hill climb..... Also found out my radiator is now leaking.
I'll get some pics of the trail damage when I get a chance.

 

smashed the hell out of my skid plates, dented the rear diff., gotten water in the rear diff., and had the paint scratched off the cross members and axles.

 

I did have a rock smack my gas tank skid and my transfer case x-member but that stuff isn't really visable unless you are looking. That usually happens almost on a regular basis when I wheel.

I had to get winched up a steep hill today could get any traction but both the other 2 rigs were locked and I was going everywhere they went. I still have to put in my locker but right now I have to get the idler arm replaced and the radiator.

 

uh...broke a cv axle, or tore apart the front diff gears. no body damage ever.

 

Hey it will happen one day. Never say never...

 

hey man, don't say that!
yeah i hear ya. but i guess i meant...no body damage yet

 

Had to make a sharp right in a tight spot to avoid being crushed by a rolling Trooper. I ended up gougeing a hole in the right rear door all the way through the sheetmetal. It was better than being crushed by a Trooper though. I fixed it myself with Bondo and Dupilicolor, it looks OK and thats fine by me. Pretty scary day, no one got hurt though. Plus, rollover recovery without a winch is a blast!

wheeled the hell out of my truck, only thing that has ever happened is my speedometer cable off the tranny came disconnected. didnt figure out what was wrong (no speedometer, and caused a check engine light) until the next day after my 100 mile drive home.

ive never had to pay to have anything fixed

 

Scratched up both front and rear bumpers, the skid plates, lower a-arms, rock sliders, all the rims, rear diff housing, left and right sides. Dented the heck out of both skid plates, the fuel tank(which is now holds a few gallons less), rear bumper and the body got a few. Broke a front CV axle and bent the stock exhaust system all up. There's probably a few I missed, but all this happened going up Sledgehammer at Johnson's during the weekend of the Toyota Jambo.

 

flooded the engine, flodded the interior, all my navigation, audio, video equipment fried ... had to redo the leather on the seats, water in the headlamps/taillamps, remove all carpeting, and door panels ...

 

Come to think of it I did get close to hydrolocking the engine. There was a deep part of water went through and the engine really bogged down I thought I wasn't going to make it at one point. I really need to make a snorkle the next time I go out there.
I did leave my windows down during the trip and now I have mud all over the interior and vents and dash and door panels. I got a little body damage myself mostly from alot of mosquitos and blackfly's and a couple cuts on my hands from wrenching on the trail.

 

Much of the damage in my sig happened on the same trail - Cochran Coke ovens in AZ. Have added some skid dents and scratches (az pinstripes ) on a few other runs.

 

hey bruce, you forgot about the motor you hydrolockd and had to replace

 

Pics:
Got the 4 runner a little muddy

Tree rash passengers side

Tree dent on rear tailgate

tweaked idle arm

TJM a little tweaked I loosened the bolts and moved it a little already.
Also you can see how towed in the tires are from the bent idle arm

This is Damiens jeep going up but this is the area where I hit the passengers side it's a tight squeese between those trees.

He got a picture of me but it's really blurry

some pics of the little water crossings we did


Damien running from the mad taco on a hill climb

Anyways I wish I had more but my camera was out of memory and the battery died before I could delete some for more pics. I know my camera sucks...

 

Read the title, it say's in "ONE" day....... Now I did do a lot more damage that same weekend as well.....

Now if I added up all the trail damage the list is quite long......

 

Bruce don't forget that infamous hydro at hungry valley

EDIT:
would be nice if I read all the way down eh!

I've damaged:
front / rear stock bumper (replaced)
a few dimples on the rear aftermarket bumper
sliders have a few neat lines
stock skids didn't last long (replaced)
aftermarket skids are holding up much better
tranny pan crushed (thus losing a few gears... b*tch on the way home - repaired)
gas skid has a few love marks (still there)
basically the bottom portion looks like swiss cheese (always looks good!)
cracked passenger fog light (damn rocks)
Bent driveshaft (replaced)
rims now have some cool scapes to help cut thru the rocks better! (lol)

 

I dented the hell out of the roof, right front fender, passenger side door, and passenger side of the bed, also busted the radiator. All happened within a matter of a second and a half or so

Second most just happened: Snapped birfield, thrashed inner axle and front housing. It may have taken more than one day, I never heard a snap and suspect it may have happened as much as two weeks before I first thought it did.

 

1 days worth of carnage in my group was as follows.
2 broken tie rods (both jeeps)
U-joints breaking at the cross on both a D70 and a 14 bolt
Rear drive shaft breaking on a D70
brand new set of Rancho YJ springs trashed (too much axle wrap)
A Toyota spit out the rear lift blocks climbing a ledge.
I sheared off the front D-shaft bolts blasting through the mud. had to fix it there.
2 front D60 axle U-joints
1 lockout
and the wheelbearing from an Artic Cat.
all in all, I was the only one with tools so they got a good workout..

 

 

Ouch roll overs suck. Usualy they sustain more damage when you roll them back over to all 4's.
Funny thing is you find alot more stuff when you wash your vehicle. I know I have about 8 new big noticeable pin strips now.
