Well read it a weep, and then tell your story. Whats your carnage, if you know tell your sotry, wehre did it happen, how did it happen.

Mine:
Of course a busted passenger side axle shaft on Double Whammy St after noon. We were heading to Log Jam and Rocky Road and I couldn't resist playing. At least its on Video.

Lots of scratches and bumps mostly because I was so messed up Sat night I couldn't stand, Oh wait Jeep Carnage, both taillights banged up one I did sometime over the weekend the other Keith did driving her Sat night on Rocker Knocker, now if he'd learn left from right, I know shes ahrd to turn because of the locker

Dented a rim pretty bad although it's holding air, sometime Fri unsure where.

two new holes in my hood, due to over heating we made hasty hood vents with a torch after determining cut off wheels take to long.

really thats it and considering the ole XJ wheeled Thur night, Fri, Fri Night, Sat 1/2 day and Sat night with a busted shaft she did OK

bent trackbar mount on the axle. trail fixed and gussested with no issues later on. happened coming down Black Momba.

2 batteries had melted posts due to the winch/air drawing so much power. batteries are still good though the 2nd set of posts are useless now.

banged the hard top onto a tree. minor crack but nothing bad.

banged the delta light bar on a tree, it smacked the windshield and cracked it. it got worse on the drive home, will need a new windshield also the lightbar is loose on the driver's side.

Rock rash and a few more scratches I have not seen anything else. After going up Log Jam I'm lucky, I had the ole' Rubi bouncing and tires smoking until we got up the obstacles.

Thur. night my jeep overheated going down pee-wees crossing

Fri. morning pulled thurmastat and cut holes in to hood along with re-wiring electric fan. Then when down rocker nocker and by the end of that trail my alternator stoped charging. We got back to camp and ran to town and got lucky because parts store had no parts sent me to a place were a guy had a used alternator for 5 bucks. Got back to put the parts on and had flat on drivers front tire (leaking at the bead with air at 12psi fine at 35psi ) changed alt. and tire.

Sat. went up rocker nocker and tested out rock sliders by draging them and hanging them up on first big rock. having to winch my-self off and up. Then Fred wanted to go down the new bronco buster and found a stob with my drivers rear tire and blew the whole side out of my tire. After lunch whe went up log jam and hit the first tuff spot and bent my front right shackle back against the frame and bent my leaf spring(fixed on the spot good enuff to finsh the day) then from there came down rocky road. I think thats is where i dented my fuel tank and bent one of my R/R u-bolts on my leaf spring.

Over all i thing my jeep did great since this was the first time it has been on a trail or even out of the shop since 07 i had just finshed up the last few things before i loaded it up on the trailor to bring it to camp MJ. Lots of untest things from motor,tranny, transfer case, rear axle, cooling system, skids and armor.

I would like to say thanks to Fred and Mark along with everyone else for all the help and for making this trip one of the best i have been on in a long time Thanks alot guys:beer::beer::beer:

Rock rash on rims and fenders
Bent the end of exhaust

Probably would have been more if I would have gone out with the group on Saturday after lunch, but my wife showed up and brought me and the boy lunch. Couldn't turn it away!

The Hogg overheated Friday on rocker knocker removed the hood that seemed to help for a while

Dent in driver door after being pulled up a hill by Bryan then over on my side with him still pulling

During group ride overheated enough to blow cap off over flow bottle got her cooled down with some more coolant was good after that

Crushed passenger side while out with Fred, Bryan, and Gretchen on V-Notch.

Nonthing to bad though still impressed with the way the hogg wheeled consedering this was its first trip ever But looking foward to getting it out again after a few more mods. Thanks Bryan for the tug on some of the hills and you to Fred for falling back down to me to hook-up

Nothing major here.
I got the front fenders bent up again (everytime I go out to parks). I was letting the youngest son drive down PeeWees crossing. 15 yr olds should not drive down hill:D.
My tires held up nicely. They did get a few end pieces chunked off 3 lugs on one of them. (Firestone Destnation MT)
