Last time I broke a door handle. But my buddies in their wranglers were fine. If you're careful you can easily avoid body damage. I'm a lot more reckless with my xj.

took a door handle as well.. tried to take higher line in cambered turn, lost traction and slid down into tree stump. mangled passenger rear pretty good, but glass was intact.

was funny tho.. when i was on the ridge spotting for someone else, i found an xj door handle sitting in the dirt. chuckled about it, then hopped in my rig for my turn. ended up leaving mine right next to the other one

How much is up there? Is it still good to wheel most of it? We were trying to avoid the snow, but if it's not bad we'll go for it.

Got back from Evans around 8 Sunday night. Had a great trip. Went up Saturday and got it stuck in the snow headed up to the campground. Figured out my vacuum went out and left it overnight. Luckily we planned to stay. Next morning I realized Winch fried my battery terminal. Got a replacement and help out from some fellow jeepers. Got down to the staging area and waited for my buddy to show up and in the meanwhile a guy helped me work on my 4wd. Turns out the fork was broken and that's why it wouldn't engage. So we slid it over and put a hose clamp on it and wheeled it all day with two guys out of Bonney lake. (ford ranger and an xj) had a great trip. So thanks to everyone who helped out with my rig this weekend. Next time it's my turn to pay it forward and help out some jeepers. Keep it up guys.
