I was pretty lucky.
Parking lot carnage: 1 upper rear control arm ripped off the frame
Trail Carnage: none
Personal Carnage: one potentially broken foot. Doh!
Overall a great time and I was able to meet a lot more people this year and put some faces to screen names. I apologize to those I have met in the past and forgot or just plain forgot their names. I'm awful with that sort of thing. I blame it on my short attention span.
Broken swaybar link bolts. Ruined section of clear bra on my bumper when I needed to do a u turn and a dead tree stump wouldn't get out of my way.
I'm devastated.
Eh.....since I didn't do too much wheelin', it kept my damage to a minimum
1 outer D44 Yukon Chromoly Shaft.
Blew up front driveshaft!!! And got a few scratches on my rockers and bumpers.
Somewhere between Dillon and Boulder my rear output shaft on the TC holding on the yoke worked itself loose. When I pulled up to my house I was leaking TC fluid pretty good
Two front 44 hubs and a nice dent in the oil pan from the track bar...Not bad. Cody, did you break your foot diving?
Ya, I jumped a little too far out on about a 30 footer and ended up landing in about 6-7 feet of water. Typically it's no big deal because it's just silt, but I managed to find the only hard part of the ground.
It actually feels a lot better today and the bruising has gone down. I think I'll be fine in a couple days.
Polar bears don't jump off of cliffs silly!
They're way smarter than that.
got one little scrape on the back of my factory bumper dropping off the last obstacal on hells revenge.. but thats it! hella good trip! It was great meeting and wheeling with you guys!
G-
Bent my exhaust tip thats about it...
broke 2 of my rock lights and my muffler is now vertical and making sqeaking noises. But thats all i can see right now.
Dent in oil pan from front diff, dent in front axle truss from track bar bracket. Lots of scrapes on the frame side control arm mounts and frame stiffeners. Oh, the plastic tub I used to hold all my spare fluids exploded.
would it be safe to say i that i bet all of that happend on widow maker? lol
Couple more deep scratches on the front tube bumper and some rapidly expanding cracks in the unibody around the rear bumper (from tying it down on the trailer most likely). Haven't pulled the rear diff cover yet after getting pummeled on Rock Chucker, but I'm hoping for the best (locker reset kinda funny a couple of times when I backed up after that). Death wobble was a bit worse too driving back in to Moab Saturday, so I'll fiddle with the toe in again.
Won't have a chance to dive into that project for a while since we'll be getting the house ready for baby #3 due next month!
1 passenger side CV axle (joint broke)
1 driver's side CV axle... wait, no, that was fine, but leads to:
Transfer case? Thankfully 2wd worked just fine on the 242 to get me home. The transfer case will be torn apart some time this coming month... perhaps it is time to make a few changes. All on Rockchucker! I am now 0-2 on getting up that SOB!
Scratches, hah, they don't even count.
Add me to the list but may not be GSW-related other than it happened on the way home. Cruising down I-15 past Cedar City, UT Sunday afternoon, jerk, jerk-bang, bang! No gears! Everything is nuetral. Got towed from Cedar City to Las Vegas Sunday night. Thanks AAA. This morning rented a truck and trailer and towed the ZJ back to LA so we'll see shortly whether it's my tranny, t-case or both. U-Haul made me rent a 14' moving truck to carry the Jeep on a trailer---bastids, but I had to get home. I was supposed to be at work today.
Thanks to Gary Prater who was caravanning with me and stayed with me and helped all afternoon Sunday and all day today and followed me back to LA and drove me around after dropping off the Jeep at the shop and the rental rigs at U-haul.
out at BFE backed off a big ledge and put the weight of the WJ on the new Iceland bumper.. good scratches, no cracks tho.. but my steering wheel isn't straight now.. lol gunna have to look at that..
