My first real damage...2 shattered KC Daylighters, both fogs cracked to hell and full of water and my exhaust system, sawz-all'ed off on the trail right behind the muffler :thumbsdown:

When are you wheeling again? Looking forward to your next additions...

 

 

I managed a bit of trail damage this summer -- dented my rear pass quarter panel & broke the tail light, slammed into a mud embankment. Was able to pop out the dent, and currently have tarp tape on the light.

 

The last couple years I mutilated my front BP Skidplate, it was no longer skidplate shaped. It has now been replaced.

Nicely done Dan!! I was going down a 20 mile washboard stretch at about 25 and noticed somebody kept following me (there are alot of oil rigs and turnoffs so it was weird this guy followed me for so long) anyway I finally got to my turnoff he flashed his lights and i stopped, then he got out and proceeded to hand me my side marker light. NOt really carnage but I have not been wheeling in a while and this is big new to me.

I went off road once trying to get into a trout pond in the bush and bent the hell out of my bush bar. I learned two things that day...my tires are too small and always cross the ditch at an angle. :shrug:

Not a big list for me....yet :D

 

Right hand guard (couple of dents)

Cracked corner light

Lost rear mudflap (removed other one :aok: )

ECU+ego (relocated NOW)

Radiator (*shakes head @ self*)

Right rear dust cap (every damn time I go out WTF?)

Tread (a few chunks missing out of some lugs)

Smashed plastic in rear bumper towing Dan out (new bumper made)

Paint job (now looks like I've been dragged through the bush backwards)

 

Should be a skull shaped dent in the roof (at pace hit a crest that I didn't see coming, we both went up but the Pathfinder came down a little quicker. :lol:

Camp NL: 3 days of wheeling

Broke: One Pezzy

 

Sprained thumb, caught on the steering wheel when I hit a rock hard in a mudhole, and had some massive bump-steer. Happened so fast, I don't know what happened, I don't usually have my thumbs in the steering wheel for this exact reason, at the same time, I managed to smash the plastic off the bottom of the steering wheel.

well... I finally decided to tackle the problem of both of my front tires not holding air. I had a suspicion about the passenger side since I had jammed a branch into the bead during my last Paragon run. Sure enough, I pulled it off, pressureized it and threw some soapy water on it. Blowing bubbles from the bead right where I had extracted the lumber. I let the air out, threw the tire under the truck and used it's weight to pop the bead. I cleaned it out, cleaned it with a little coleman fuel and reinflated it to 40psi. No more leak. The drivers side was leaking around nearly 3/4 of the rim. I'm guessing I rubbed the tire hard against something but it was probably in a mud pit so I don't know exactly where it was. Same thing as the passenger side... popped it off, cleaned the dirt and debris out of the bead and reseated it. Again, inflated to 40psi and she held too. Rides completely different now. I got used to the 12psi in each tire.
