| 5/25/03 - "Modified" Front Passenger Fender |
| So RedAss had this great idea while we stopped at the Mud Pits this Memorial Weekend. He decided that all the drivers needed to hit the beer bong, after we'd been drinking all day. After I took my turn, I decided it would be a great idea to take Tom in his new Rubi down the Shoestring even though a group rockin 38's just came out and said "no way, too much snow". We didn't make it far before we had to turn around, and while I was backing around a corner I made "a slight beer bong induced miscalculation" and clipped a tree. You should have seen the look on his face when he said "dude, you just hit your fender!!" while I was laughing my way back to the beer bong. No big deal, the damage was minimal......I'll need to get it painted before it starts to rust though. Hey, I didn't put "got dents" stickers on my Jeep for nothing!!! |
| 6/21/03 - "Modified" License Plate |
| I was trying to follow BlueBalz and the GreenMonster over a log about 6" taller than the bottom of my front diff and got stuck with one tire over the log. Couldn't winch forward cause the diff was pinned against the log. So I ran the cable under the Jeep, a trick I learned from RedAss. So now I have a nice slice in my license plate. Not a big deal since you can still read the numbers.... |
| 4/10/04 - Leaky Front Diff |
| This happned while doing a little rock crawling at Tahuya with my bro Fonk. I figured I could make it through since the rocks were planted in the ground in a fairly neat fashion. The problem was that I couldn't hear Fonk giving me directions over Harvester of Sorrow blaring on my stereo. I smaked the corner of the front diff pretty hard, and now I have a small leak. It's probably just the seal tweaked a little, I'll find out next time I get it serviced. I think it's time to order the Warn Diff Skid Plate though......... |
| 5/28/04 - Banana'ed Oil Pan Skid |
| Less than one week after finally installing this skid, I've turned it into a banana. Feeling more confident with the 33's and the skid being in place, I charged up the rock that snapped Smokey's clutch cable a few years back. If it weren't for the skid, I probably would have hit the front of my transmission so hard that it might have cracked or broke loose from the engine. No big deal tough, that's what the skid is there for!!! Now I just need to straighten it a bit so the front end doesn't hang up on anything............ |
