In a world of political correctness this topic may be taboo, but I'll start it. What's your best whiskey dent? That one fender fuk up or picture of one that reminds you why drinking (heavily) and off roading don't mix.
I'll start with my most recent. Luckily, it barely involves my Jeep. My friend with a two wheel drive Chevy x-cab with a broken refrigerator in the back comes over and we get a little whiskey drunk, there were several people over, we grilled out. Good times, good times. Well, I have a few hills on the backside of my dam carved out for wheeling. A good challenging set of hills for my brothers 4x4 and mine. Brandon wanted to go off roading, at like midnight, so I hopped in my Jeep, he hopped in his truck so we took off into the pasture. I took him on a couple of simple things first...he seemed to do okay. So my irresponsible, whiskey drunk decision was to show him how I could go up the first big hill. I made up, turned down the dam, and here he comes all full throtle over the top. Good job Brandon. So I make it around a corner, down into the bottoms, and go up the bigger hill, the one I've even slid on a couple of times. I 4x my way up it and make plenty of room for Bandon. So here he comes with his first attempt, didn't quite get up to the top. This was purely a matter of momentum when doing this sort of driving, so a little more backing up and he makes it, in full Dukes of Hazzard swing over the dam road almost into the dam pond. Lukily Texas has a drought right now so the pond's not where it used to be. He tried backing up, all that did was left rubber on dirt. I pulled up further so that he could drive forward to the edge of the pond and come back up onto the dam. (Yes, at this point I was already trying to remember where I left my chain). Well, with a big bumper scoop out of my dam road he got moving forward and up the embankement and landed real close to me.
That's what his truck made it through. Then we headed back, about a half mile up to the house. We went through the spill way, across the bridge, down to check out the Fro Bus and almost home and then his headlights stopped following me. I turned back to investigate. Well, when we went through the spillway he caught a rock coming out of the other side. Caught it fast enough to move the rock out of dirt and down about 10 yd.
Here's the list...
The first hill:
-He took out part of a cypress tree with his passenger side fender. Some tree was still stuck in it.
The second hill:
-Took bumper shaped scoops out of my road
-Completely ran over a smaller tree
He hit that rock and:
-Curled the front bumper in
-Shifted his oil pan
-Turned his oil filter inside out
-Crimped his exhaust header
-He had no idea his truck had no oil, so judging by his oil mark in my pasture he drove for 30 yd spewing oil and then nearly a half mile with no oil at all. -His engine is no more.
-He still has the Philco Ford refrigerator in the back.
I don't have pictures of that night, but I do have pictures of the fro bus if anybody's curious.
