I tried to kill my 84 longbed last Labor Day weekend. Crushed both doors, ripped off the mirrors, and smoked the clutch. After all that, the truck was still going strong. Until it decided to stall out on a steep climb. I rolled back and the frame kissed a tree pretty good. It broke the radiater mounts, shoving the rad into the fan. The rear Xmember was a U shape. And the shackles were pretty little S's. But the truck never died. I still drove it back to the trailer... HMMM. Who says Toyotas are junk?

Nothing major, a ton of Washington pinstriping, dented gas tank cover, dented rear bumper, and a dented ego....

About 10 years ago I tipped my mazda 4x4 over. Door would not shut, cracked passenger window, big ole dent on the top, and some minor stuff. Haven't been seriously wheeling since, kinda bad experience and I was alone. Anyhow ... trying to get the nerve to get back out there.

Springfield, There any good places to wheel around there? Seems like there should be. The wife's family lives in Forsyth. And we are thinking about moving down there. But that is just being talked about for the moment.

Worst I ever did was back into a tree. Which isn't THAT bad of a deal, except that my friend the "spotter" who was standing back there said it was clear. Luckily it wasn't even noticeable if you didn't know it happened... that and the fact that it was on a Ford.

Broke 2 leaf springs(rear) tore one brake line off the caliper, ripped off rear roll pan, smashed cab so bad the pass door does not close, tore gas door off, broke both mirrors, broke vent window, CRUSHED pass side door, shattered 1 turn signal, one headlight, and two marker lights, broke grill, smashed bumper, buckled the hood and drivers side fender, got the trans stuck in 1-2 gears, tore through two rear cab mounts, bent tie rod, and finished the day with a cracked frame.

Had i not lost the brakes damage would have been about half that.

Edit: forgot the fender flare that i tore off as well.

My99's post reminded me. Well this same day the above happened, I kinda broke both tail lights by backing into trees. I had a spotter, but he wasn't paying too much attention What a day

in one trip, the most i've done is a candy-caned d-shaft, tweaked front bumper, scratches all down the sides, and various dents and scratches underneath (t-case x-member, front skid, gas tank skid), scratched wheels... total list of carnage also includes a dented rear bumper side, tweaked t-case x-member (x-member and frame holes don't line up too well) and f-ed up linkage (doesn't like to stay in 4-low), damage to all my other skids (gas tank skid was actually hitting my d-shaft today after i came down on a rock) and lower control arm brackets, smashed PIAA foglamp, many scratches on the body and wheels, and new noises and vibrations. also had to do a little "cleaning up" inside when i sunk it up to the doors a while back...

I tore and bent the whole right side of my stock rear bumper the first week i had my Runner comming down a big drop off. Its ok though cause it gave me all the more reason to buy a new custom Sonoran steel bumper

When i was 16 years old, i rolled my parents Ford Aerostar in the California desert...still drove it home too...not a good day to say the least
