What have you broken or damaged?
#1
Title says it all: What have you broken or damaged?

As always bonus point for pics. I might have a few if you can't readily find one.

Red Jeep.... spider gears in my rear diff (on the trail)
rear transfer case
a couple of trannys
shot my driveshaft out the back end (while driving 45mph after a tough trail) - broke the yoke in half

Yellow Jeep.... a tranny (normal wear?)
(that's it so far!, knock on wood)

I have been pretty lucky so far. I bent the heck out of my transfercase skid that was causing other problems, but it was an easy fix. Other than that I have not damaged anything other than little things like shocks, and and my tranny pan. I know I just jinxed myself but I am proud I have not had any real damage.

Found this in the morning after a midnight run thru Martinez Mine Loop, Thank God it held together, I even found the nut wedged on the skid plate.

Hmm yah, thats my tcase :wink:

I decided to take Megan on our first 4wheeling trip at sunflower. I thought it would be a quick day trip with a nice lunch in the canyon. Instead I snapped the tcase, had to hike about a mile to a hill to get reception, call mike and wait for him and J to come tow us out :lol:

Overall Im happy with it, only complaint I have is you need to be rolling to put it into gear. Other then that its great
