Very little that I am aware of, Lance's track bar bent and he left it out on Quarry. He and Dan were going out to get it today. Some bent stock control arms, guess who that was!
It was an excellent jam, everything went very well.

just got back from Getting lance's XJ out of thw woods. He also blew inner and outer beads off of one of his tires in friday. one trailguide had water get into his fuel tank via a cracked filler spout, on Phinney/Chute. one participant had a broken fuel line on phinney/chute. Both JK's I think, conveinently enough. Mike from APJ had a broken front axle shaft.
I think the NB crew (Jimmy, Greg, et al) had the most carnage, while on their way to Jam.

Yeah both where jks with fuel snags.first jk was the fuel line to the injectors broke. Mine was the fuel fill line connection on the gas tank. It broke and water go in. Will need a new fuel pump and that connection or tank wont know till I get underneath and drain the gas out. Mike did his axle on phinney as well. Or thats when he first heard the clicking/clunking noise just got back from Getting lance's XJ out of thw woods. He also blew inner and outer beads off of one of his tires in friday. one trailguide had water get into his fuel tank via a cracked filler spout, on Phinney/Chute. one participant had a broken fuel line on phinney/chute.

On the way down we had 2 stuck calipers we changed we changed in the parking lot of the parts store, I blew a rear wheel bearing which took the axle about 45 minutes from home switched it with an axle with a brand new bearing but couldn't change the race then the new bearing started getting real hot so I grabbed Jimmy's and put mine on the trailer. Somewhere around little village I blew a front wheel bearing in the cj5 then got caught in a bad rain/hail storm changing it on the side of the highway. Only took 11.5 or 12 hours to make it to jam this year lol also jimmy broke a shock and snapped a u bolt, julien smashed his rocker in and Paulo snapped the shaft off his shimmy shock. I think that's about it!

Let's just say getting to Jam will be one for the book's.We meet for breakfast at 8.30 am at the truck irving big stop and on Andrews way their his hood came unlatched and broke is windshield then before Sussex Skippy lost a rear dana 44 axle so we replaced that on the side of the road then Greg B had a front caliper sticking so they replaced that in the parking lot of walmart Sussex then we got to Moncton and pulled Skippy rear axle out again and re packed it because it was hot, then about 10 min from the NS border we decided it was too hot so we unloaded Kermit and put skippys on the trailer, then about 1/2 an hour later we had to stop to cool off Kermit didn't like highway speed I guess.Then the front wheel bearing came loose so we stoped and replaced at the side of the road ,then we found out Ritchie's caliper was seizing so we sent them into truro and changed it in napa parking lot ,then we finished the final leg to fox mountain araiving at 8:15 a 475km trip nice eh. Kermit got a couple of scratches and a broken front center both/u bolt and I crushed a shock all good was an awesome jam one to remember .But on the good new we just drove straight home only stopping for gas and lunch."THANK YOU JEEP GOD'S"

I didn't have anything real serious. Smashed front cross member, ripped a driveshaft boot, bent tierod, and bent front control arm mount. Time for some more 3/8" plate to get welded on. That will be the weekend project,

Nothing too serious, a tree took off my left rear flare. It'll take longer to get the valley mud cleaned off than it will to put the flare back on!

We had a snorkel that was pulled out of the windshield by a tree (easy fix), rear u-joint started making noise as soon as we arrived at the campground but made it through till sat night (changed Sun morning before the trip home), and of course our fancy vice-grips fix to the alternator positive breaking on the trails. Made it all the way home with the vice-grips on ... new alternator finally in today.

Broke a front lower control arm in half shortly after helping fix Scott's broken upper CA and bleeding ear. We were 2nd and 3rd rigs on the trail, so it was kinda funny because we talk a lot of shit but then broke first/second. Classic. We had no parts so I had to 3-link my way out with no lower arm on one side, the stock uppers couldn't handle it and the axle was rolling around and the coils popping like crazy rubbing on stuff. Very noisy! Eventually the front uppers got wrecked but it held together to get off the trail. It was Ok to drive home and fixed it in camp Fri night. I didn't learn any lessons and would do the same thing again.
