Trail Damage

So it happens to all of us, we are out in the trails and then something goes wrong and we have to limp home. Happen to me a few times so I thought this we be a great leaning tool for others. To this day I'm not the best on the trails but I like to think I could hold my own and put trust in my spotters.

Not pretty but still new to the whole off road deal I hit the wrong water hole. This was around Ft. Bragg area and still to this day I stay away from water or bust out the mud boots and check it out.

2009 $8,XXX damage...



Never drive behind a redneck in a F250 power wheeling in a half dry mud hole. Ft. Hood area 2011. Rock came in so fast the glass cracked me across the face, the window could be pushed in.



Hidden falls 2011 going over a 2' tall step I didn't put myself where I should have. Pushed the gas to hard and the whole thing swing to the right and busted the mirror of and handle.



Also I didn't make home that night because I didn't have duck tape and grease.



Hidden fall 2013 not sure but some how I busted a sway bar link?


So yea guys if You feel the need posted up what happen to ya'll.

Wheelin where I shouldn't have been. Got stuck for a day and a half digging out clay mud by hand in the middle of BFE. Thank god for a kind rancher who yanked me out.

Stuck for 14 hours and the water froze all around

Getting pulled out is the best feeling ever

This is after I took a sledge hammer to it and made some "trail repairs"... Not bad damage. Easily fixed with a Thorparts rear bumper.

Not a 3, but worthy. Try this one halfway through the trail of steep hill climbs and the fire roads a few miles to the main road

Notice the left locking pin to the tube. Had a couple holes out the diff cover also. After inspection at AAMCO

I killed it! Bent the rear housing. Easy fix. New rear diff. It was slightly twisted. Luckily I had a housing at work

I had a tree come running out of the woods and smash out my side window at Redbird. There's a thread on here somewhere about it.
