I want to see pics or hear about people either inabilty to drive their XJs or just had bad luck.
These are pics of a kid at school
one on the left he was truning in to the school parking lot and his wheel just fell off because he didnt check to the lug nuts after putting new tires on. that is bad luck . The one on the right he was at MIOBI in iowa and was on a easy trail and didnt know what he was doing and well the pic explains the rest lol. <- bad driving skills.
So lets see what every one else has yours, friends, family's post them all

my little brother in law has an 83 toyota on 35's and has open diffs. we were cruising down the trail behind his house TUESDAY when we got to the worse part of it...it's a washout about 8 feet deep and about 15 feet across. it is WELL known to be EXTREMELY muddy. so we are going down into it and he STOPS at the bottom of it (this was his first time driving the truck). first thing i said was "we're screwed man". we tried for 30 minutes to climb the other side with no luck. tried other spots, no luck. ended up going off in a MASSIVE mudhole that swallowed the front end, the differential was underground. so we tried and tried tuesday to get it out, no luck. wednesday while he was at school i went and dug it out, used a hilift jack to lift each wheel up out of the ground and filled the holes in with tree braches. then he got home and we used the hilift as a winch and got it out of the massive hole...
so then we are "winching" it up out of the washout and get all the way to the top of it and the truck decided to slide sideways into a tree. the tierod is also U shaped now, we cant figure out how that one happened.
thursday i had to work and now it's friday and it's still there. i have a friend coming with a chainsaw and a fourwheeler and we are going to see if we can get it the rest of the way out.
OOO and during all this the clutch fork slipped off, so now we have no clutch. good thing it's geared low enough to start without oushing the clutch, even uphill....
