Ok let's hear what you did at the M&G?


I'll start...


That photo pretty much sums up mine. Although on the way home I did find my drag link bent enough to make me pucker a bit on the way home.

I know Sam destroyed a tire...John I guess "flopped"...but I'm sure there was a lot more going on that many didn't see/hear about.

Scott-
Doesn't this fall into the spotter error catagory?

Nah, it was no ones fault but my own. I was just concentrating on how to turn around to pull out the yota, and completely forgot about the hole. Granted, I do believe my rig was backed up from where I had it originally parked from someone else, but it remains my own fault for flopping.

Thanks again for the air!

And pictures of the after damage?

Imagine an xj slamming into a power poll perfectly sideways on the rear door. Looks just like that.

Jeeze... no one else broke anything?

~Scott

I fixed a shifter linkage on a t-176 in an 81 CJ-5.

And I think Horus may have scratched up the Right side of his Cherokee during the HS 311 run.

I broke my hi-lift mount trying rally 311 in under 15 minutes only to have JM make the trip camp-to-camp in just 10.5.

Oh, and I got mud on my daughter's car seat.

this Grand took out his drivers side tail light going up 102 with us ...

OK now.

I drive a Chevy...

No...you fix a Chevy much more frequently than you drive it.

I put a rock into my inspection plate putting my flywheel thru it also breaking my t-case mount and making my u-joint rub on the crossmember but it was worth it.

I broke a D60 stub shaft being a jackass and had 2 Ballistic Joints fall apart because the set screws were either left during the build or fell out at some point.

Opie's XJish Jeep did a backflip. I'll get some video of that up soon...

Man, I saw you driving through camp and wondered WFT happened. Did you just slide into that hole pretty much? Hopefully you can get your rig "straightened" back out.

Carnage for me was very minimal, only tweaked the hatch backing into the stump at the bottom of the rock race half way through 311. I made it up though so the damage was not for naught.

northwest XJ put a dent & scratch on his passenger quarter panel above his Thor's and bumped his drivers rear door handle into a tree resulting in another minor dent. Both happened on 197. He also had his rear hatch window shattered by a renegade branch (as best as we can figure).

Bummer on the door. I saw you driving around camp with that.

Bent a door hinge, and somehow the front axle breather pooped off, and turned the front diff to milk. Changed it in the Chevron parking lot. Good thing I caught it looking the Jeep over.

Rock Lobstered my rear pass. door on 311. It was the spotters fault,(I didn't have one)Myke offered to fix it w/his sawzall. what a guy!

lost mt back finder again

Did you find your "finder"?

This caved in my rear quarter pannel a little more, and messed up my rear upper shock mount.

the only real carnage was my pride, in being beaten by a really old, slow, lazy dog on that hill climb...

True story. Pat, Crystal and I were laughing when we heard a pop.

I broke Horus's Jeep

Bottomed the front suspension, and the tie rod made contact with the oil pan. The #1 connecting rod made a lot racket smacking the pan. Fortunately Jason was willing to help out with the club's Ready Welder, and the pan was pulled back out without too much trouble.



How could you tell?



That was a hell of a ride!

Because there was silver paint on the side of Drae's rig.

Geez all this carnage and all I got to see was two tail lights broken out and "H" having a yard sale But am glad we got it upright and no injuriesm, Thanks Scott for being Anchor man in the Hemi

Pretty minor here, just bent the crap outa my sway bar link. Need to look into this for the JK rubi, it seems that at full flex it is possible for the sway bar to get in front of the steering components such that when it unflexes the sway bar gets pinched in front, bending the link over said components. Got back to camp, straightened the link back out and put it all back together without much issue...



thanks Kurt for the "manly" zip ties!

Horus broke his jeep better this afternoon.

I broke something in my steering box. Heard a loud pop and it's leaking fluid pretty good now. Made it home fine. I also heard some popping in the rear suspension. Went to see if the trackbar was loose and found this:



A little closer:



And even closer:



Whoops.

How did you manage to break a spring?

Damn Chad...

The plug welds let go on my 14 bolt and the tube on the anti-wrap bar side spun a little. Welded it back up in camp with the clubs ready welder, thanks again John.

Other then that not much for me.
