Bent the drag link, twice....on the same trail in about 20 feet. "Repaired" it, then it broke. So, we "repaired" it again. We eventually ended up sleeving the drag link with the handle from my Hi-Lift, welding it in place and I ran it like that. The welds ended up breaking the threaded end off so we had to thread the TRE into the drag link and limp back to camp where we took some angle iron and welded it to the TRE and then to the "drag link"
And I bent the right rear leaf, the rear bumper, the right rear corner of the tub/tail light, used my sliders, almost used my cage a couple times. Luckily enough my windshield came out unscathed.  |

Any MORE scathed. And he beat the living SHIT outta that step child!!!
I didn't break anything on the crew cab, I did massage a little more sheet metal though.
I did however have a belt separate in the lf tire of my dually at 75mph on the way home, stopped in Earle to put the spare on.

I caved in my step bar on the passenger side, my exhaust is now rattling up against something, and I have a new, not good sounding, noise coming from my front diff.

I've not unloaded and checked it over real good yet but so far I've seen this weird swirl looking scratch in my stock skid underneath, dented my rear passenger door so now it doesn't want to latch and I twisted the powder coating off of my rear axle. All in all I'm very pleased with how the rzr did running the trails we ran considering its nit set up for the rocks! This weekend reminded me of what I was missing though and I've already started shopping for my new rock friendly rzr mods! Lol

Oh, and Bob was nice enough to pick up my center cap for me when I heard this nasty crunching sound! Still haven't seen what is left of it. I heard it was still in one piece....mostly...but would never be used again. Lol

I was highly impressed with what the 4 door RZR did... Only a few clearance issues with getting high centered... but ran everything the others ran..

If I would have had skids and sliders I would have been a LOT more comfortable with hitting the gas and letting momentum slide me on over. As it is there is just a thin flimsy piece of plastic stock skid between the ground and my oil pan and gas tank. Plus the sides of the rzr are plastic and not supported. Give me skids and sliders before the next trip and I'll really see what she's made of!

Well lets see, I bent the steering stabilizer mount and ended up having to take off stabilizer(thanks for the lending hands of Chris, Chris(c2) for jumping in and helping with taking it off). Haven't got under it to see what other damage was done. Used the sliders a few times. Oh and twisted up a center cap on right rear wheel. Got some terrible DW between 30-40 mph. Gonna look at that this afternoon. CB convo...... BOB: hey Parker! Me: yes what is it? BoB: Charlie says you're gonna break something before we get to the top(Charlie is nowhere in the Jeep....hmmm) Me: well I hope not and that wasnt very nice!!! Meanwhile about 5.3 mins later......BAMMM!!!  Me: Chaaaarrrrlieeee.....HELP!!! Lol Charlie: holler at me before the damage, not after! Me: yea...uh well Me: thanks BoB!! Lol Hey it's all in a good time and had a freaking blast. Wouldn't have changed one thing about this ride! I was impressed with the JK!! |

That's why I either run topless or put the safari top on it. Glad you had a good time though!

Broke a calipar when the retainer came out and lodged it in the wheel. Charlie clamped some vice grips on the line,and kept riding.

I'm amazed the carnage is so little considering the trails we ran!
