Reno damage reports

Who all broke/tweaked their rigs?

I split open the pinch seam on my rear wheel wells and my e fan broke
Easy fixes compared to some!

I've already trimmed my wheel wells and folded over the outside

You also crushed your exhaust into the floor and started melting the padding. Haha.

I also dented my tie rod (1.75" .250 wall DOM) thats a scratch

And the jeep wont drive straight. it pulls hard right.

I lost a unit bearing and a tre, dented my gas tank, dented a slider and hit it so hard it wrinkled the rear of the rocker. I think that's it, I'll know more when I tear into things. Started getting a funny noise in the front end just past San Jose.

Well. I broke the passenger side inner shaft in bronco canyon.

Swapped in new shafts and made it back to camp with some mad deathwabble.
Something in the diff was seizing up steadily so I pulled the inners and the front drive shaft. Then replaced the axle side trackbar bushing (thanks a ton Allen) to get it to drive straight with no wobble and made it home without incident.
Now I have just decided to regear up to 4.88s instead of finding another 4.10 front. Suprize.

But hey... It was a great learning experience and it couldn't have happened around a better group of guys to help me fix it. Thank you all for hanging out and being patient with me.

[GordoSmasho]

You too Jon. Can't wait to see that silverback on 37s!!!

Forgot to add I bent a rear drive shaft on the buster/Delores run. Had to pick up two stock front drive shafts (as I needed a spare) at picknpull in sparks. It was still drivable but gave some good vibrations at speed. Swapped it out in the 4wheelparts parking lot barbeque.
