Good deal Rob, glad you made it home. For non crawling rigs we sure did beat our stuff up.
Yep we sure did. We both need to look at the intent or direction of our builds. Wade stopped by yesterday afternoon and said I’ve got an overweight underbuilt rock crawler or overbuilt overlander. I’d rather be overbuilt for the wheeling I normally do than risk this level of damage again.
If I want to go onto trails like Steelbender or similar I need a dedicated ride where It’s better prepared for the target trail.
I’m not getting anything soon if at all. I got a laundry list of parts to buy first.
100% agree with you on that and have been thinking of it for years.
To quote @doubletrouble, a lot wrong with this picture.
When you gotta replace a leaf pin so you can wheel the next day. Thanks everyone who helped get it back in action!

Lots of times I want to start kicking my 205 shifter into gear.
Somewhere during rally mode i managed to lose the drivers side collector gasket and blew a chunk out of the headers where all four pipes go into the collector, then somewhere on steel bender the left rear shifted due to a sheared leaf spring bolt, the jury is still out on when it sheared. It turns to the right really well now .
By the time I drove 7 hours home, I added to my list.
I thought I was having trouble with the exhaust heating up the fuel tank cause some loss of power and engine stumbling. Turns out I have an injector dropping out. Almost couldn't make it up the big pass.
Not really carnage, but halfway into the drive I noticed a noise echoing off the barricade walls when I was close enough. Figured out the hub lock out wasn't quite fully unlocked. Now I'm thinking I should tear into the hub. Might as well do both sides.

Saturday afternoon I developed a crank no start issue that randomly popped up. After a few minutes letting it cool off it would start again, Guess that fuel pump relay is about done, then my cooler tie down system started to crush the top corner of my igloo cooler with the ratchet strap, I'm pretty bummed about that.
Should have scored a Yeti.
Bumper is trying to leave the chat!
I watched Chris stack the odds against me on that one, I tried for a warn recovery kit instead. And as always I lost out.
Left my gas cap in Fruita.
That was a tough fix.
Broke my hood release handle. That's it, I'm never going wheeling again.
Had you left it in roadkill mode with the hood off that part is totally unneeded.
Umm... my park lights quit working??
Shoulda did Mickeys when Nate tried getting me to do it, then maybe I could have something real to fix.

interested in this a truggy start? either GM or Toyota.
I discovered that I should have trusted my original thoughts about serrated flange nuts. Lost 4 of them and 3 collector bolts on the new headers. Was easy to stop by True Value and get crimp-lock nuts.
While rolling the rear window down to get to my toolbox, the cable to the regulator came apart after only 2 years of being held with gorilla tape, or whatever it was...
I had tossed the new GM one in the back before I left and the lockout for the latch was not working correctly, so that was an easy fix!!
All good until Saturday after Kane Creek. The transfer case adapter plate started leaking decently. Maybe I should have dug into that deeper back in 2018...
So I didn't go out Sunday and drip oil on the trail, drove home.

This is why I never wheel mine...
