So I realized that there is nowhere on the forum to put photos and stories of the ever-so-often breaks that off-roaders experience. Feel free to post pictures, videos (ohhh candid camera), and stories of your little breaks or big time fixes.

Yea wow, it doesn't take much contact with a tree to do much damage. Sorry to hear that. You got pretty lucky though to only damage the rig. Now other people are going to be hesitant to post pictures of broken tie rods, track bars, and brake lines after this!

not to mention that I needed new tires, and I happen to have some 32"s laying around my garage
