Friday on my way up out of the ravine on Crusher I got over too far and put a couple small dents in the front fender, bent the power antenna, and tor off the mirror.
Saturday after coming up out of the ravine, I had to back up to pull one of our new friends from Tracadie up, destroyed the drivers side axle yokes doing it. After I pulled him and tried to move out of the way, bottom ball joint popped apart and the top one sheared off. We had to make a new exit off the trail as there was no way around me. It stayed on the trail for the night and Tracy and I rescued it yesterday.
Still rolled along like a Caddy on mud tires for the trip home. (though my drivers door panel ripped off trying to get by busted door latch to close, and I had to crawl in and out the pass side)
I think other than Bennet's XJ, it was the only time a Jeep got left behind, but I wanted to make sure everyone was back on time for this years closing ceremonies.

ARB line to the front let go... I suppose it could be the O rings, but not likely. Haven't looked at it yet. Decent dent in the pass side of the hood coming out of the bowl on Crandfield's. Not too bad. Krawlers blew me away on the rocks. Just spent a couple hours washing her, and unpacking. Best thing I do at Jam is take monday off. How were they in the mud ? They did ok.... I don't think anything short of boggers would do well in that slime.... hmm, maybe I should get boggers. ;D

dented driver's door, dented passenger cowl. windshield frame lip on both sides a little bent, and radio antenna has a nice inward angle.
No actual damage, just cosmetic stuff. I'm quite happy with that. now to leave it for a while, and get the front wheel bearings repacked/replaced.

I know your gesture was appreciated Alan, sorry to have to leave it there.

Update on the 8274 - "My shaft slipped out"? Took it apart tonight, a shaft that the upper gears run on had worked it's way out of place. Re-assembled the winch and works perfect again. Thanks to my buddy Ed for the use of his shop.
