It may not count as "official" jam carnage but I bent my track bar while clearing Crusher last weekend. It couldn't withstand the awesome power of the stock steering box when I was wedged against a rock. I drove out with it ratchet strapped but it needs attention before jam.
And I wasn't alone with carnage *cough cough* Mickey *cough*.
Looking forward to the real thing next week!

cough, cough to you too, Ya but mine cost $360.00, I split a tire with a point of no repair. I ordered one, will pick it up on Monday I also splitted one last year during the jam. There were brand new with only less than 200 miles. This one had about 1500 miles. My conclusion Duratrack are very soft side wall, I was air down to 15 psi both time. from now on I will try 20 psi. It is an expensive way to find out what pressure those tire can be drop at.
I miss my TruXus, soon or later I will have some again. They were awesome, I out did just about everybody with those on the YJ (Yellow Submarine). It could had been because of the skinny pedal too, and not most likely the driver's skill.
As for carnage, I am still fixing some from the last jam. $$$$$$

Well, so far before jam, i have torn a hole in the back of the frame of the YJ with a dozer blade while acting a fool in my yard, and finally diagnosed a bad O2 sensor that has been irritating me for 3 years. I also may have recently acquired a sticky front caliper..

My jeep over heated and broke down on the way to Tia's trail , so I left it on the side of the road and picked it up later withe the trailer
Took out the thermostat and added antifreeze , worked great on Cranfields Revenge on Saturday .
I was doing a full throttle assault , just before the bowl on Cranfields
And broke a short side axle joint , I winched the front end up a tree and swapped in a spare axle , missed 5-6 spots , jumped in the pack and made it the rest of the day

Well I am very happy, I did not break anything on the trail but I did get stuck (typical rooky mistake). The hardest thing with this jam I had to stay focus. NOT to go in the mud pit . About 60 people asked me to go in. I think if one more would had asked me maybe I would has found my soft spot. I am sorry if I disappointed so many of you. May be next year

No damages for me, aside from discovering the splines in my rear driveshaft are almost gone, and i likely have a leaky intake manifold.
Did have a TJ friday on crusher who shewred a couple of d35 spider gear teeth. I turned it into a lincoln locker for him saturday morning.
Saturday a driver ripped a valve stem off on a root in Cranfields.

Friday on half moon I proved what everyone already knew....stock JK side steps are NOT rock rails lol. Local fabbers and vendors, PM me with rock rail/step ideas and prices. Can't go with just rails, wife likes the step functionality. Like the look and mount method of these but shipping will be killer and would rather support local business. www.rockhard4x4.com/product_p/rh-6009.htm |

For me the WJ kissed a tree on Tia's Trail and I now have a small battle scar in the rear passenger side quarter panel. I also blew out both rear lower control arm bushings at the axle end. my rear axle now has 2" of play front and back until I get it repaired.
All-in-All this was one hell of a great Jam!

No carnage, other than front brakes needed to be replaced yesterday and that weird 'Implausible Left Wheel Distance Signal' code came back for a day after Black Rock. And it was good to see a bunch of North Nova again at Jam. Aaron, Tia's likes Grands, just about every blemish on mine is from Tia's, I seem to pick up a new one each trip.

Aaron It sure worked good in the rocks on Clear-cut & International on Friday though, even though it appeared the front varilock weren't locking up!  |

Bent tie rod, and both factory steps on the jk running crusher on Friday.no carnage from tias saturday but had a blast and got to put the winch to work.Ended up getting a justaflex rod Saturday evening and installing it Sunday morning before heading home.
Had a great time at our first trip to jam and couldn't ask for a better group to travel with than the north nova crew
