You don't want it to happen usually, but were always ready for something to go BANG in our rigs!!!
Nothing like taking the sport of off roading, wheeling and specifically crawling to the extreme.
Lets hear some stories and see some entertaining pics of what you or your buddies broke!

So I was whalling on waynes world the other day on the cabin fever run and BANG!!! A 1962 portal said goodbye to the off roading world.

Then when I started the project to mount the spares up... 10 min later I broke a 1" to 3/4" socket adapter trying to get the hub bolt out! hahaha

No worries! Just remove the drive line unlock the rear hubs and drive the rest of the trail and home on the front axle ;)

I did get revenge, built an anti wrap bar and stuck it to chewy:) and Steph and I got some great winch practice getting out in fwd. I don't have it but isn't there a video of a front 44 busting giving it hell on hanging tree waterfall this summer?

Always check your steering arm bolts. Don't use bolts for steering arms, instead use studs. Make sure you ram is adjusted correctly. I had to piggyback on Kelly's truck like this for several miles and in the dark.... It sucked.

not moab anymore
Snow wheeling , kept sliding down hill when going slow.. So backed up put it in 3rd and gave it hell . Right at the end I slid down hill and hit the root side of a fallen over tree.

pop , bang, look out and saw my driver turned all the way opposite of steering wheeling.. Luckily it was just a broke tie rod end


Finished the trail like this
