CARNAGE!! Let's See Your Best Breaks & Trail Damage

[CRAZYCASEY]

What part of az is that trail at?

Parker az. I have done 3 different trips there and run a dozen different trails. It's a great place for wheeling.

Here's a shot of JeepCachers's factory rear drive shaft after he barber-poled it

Wait a minute, everyone on the forums say they run the factory shafts, wheel hard and not have any problems?? Wtf?

I haven't broke anything at the mall or on QWERTY Canyon.

Nothing impressive ... but this one I thought was funny ... I somehow ended up with a puncture from a Gerber buried nose deep in my tire

There are a lot of things you can break on the trail and still get back to pavement with a few trail fixes - a broken sector shaft isn't one of them. You break it and you're up a creek without a paddle, that is of course, unless you have a spare. Changing one out on the trail is a lot of "fun". Took Mel from Off Road Evolution and I both working on it at the same time still took about 3 hours to do. Once broken, the remaining shaft is a real pain to remove especially without damaging the seals or bearings.

Our PSC help keep our sector shaft from breaking for over 3 years so, it did it's job well but, when you keep pushing things, they can and still will break.

Even though I have a Sector Shaft brace I believe I will add a sector shaft to my parts box. Thank you for the idea Eddie.

Breakage of the spider gears in my D35 rear (yeah I was one of the unlucky 07's):

Here's something you never want to see - motor oil that looks like a venti cafe latte...

BRAINS!! Never a good thing when you get 9 quarts of oil out of an oil pan that normally holds 6...

These were shots taken from Trail Buds JK after he hydro-locked it out in Monache Meadows. :crazyeyes:

That looks bad!! So the engine start working again or did he have to get a new one?

We were able to get it running again but only long enough to get him back to pavement. He got it towed home and engine replaced.

:cheesy: you know, i could have but, i liked the idea of feeding this thread with new material from time to time

I'll add to more R&P. Heres my Yukon 4.56s in my D30 on my Cherokee. 35"s ripped them apart in the snow.

Also unlucky me got to experience the overtightened fill plug on my AX15 from the previous owner..

I know and all this was happening within weeks of the start of last year. Other breaks along with those was my shifter fork breaking in my teralow 4:1 and my brand new Cat getting smashed on the rubicon. Bad luck sometimes. But things happen and its.. well, a way of life!
