What did you break on your XJ?
Looking to start a thread to see what every body has damaged/broke on their. XJ We wheel hard and have seen every part of an XJ fail in epic ways.
Looking for failed components, hits, smashes, scrapes, bends, dents,getting stuck, or anything that didn't turn out so great on your Cherokee.
Pictures strongly encouraged

Heck, I've put a sizeable dent in the gas tank; after 1 wheeling trip in PA my Hidden Hitch up front was hanging down real low because the metal around the bolts had peeled back like a banana; smashed driver side mirror; seriously dented the passenger front fender, twisted driver door from the hinges (not a wheeling accident), broken axle, rear drive shaft fell out, lost 4 of 5 lug nuts, almost ripped skid plates off, smashed driver & passenger rear glass (2 different trips) ... rtweaked the front stock bumper on the left & ripped the endcap off on the right;dented rear lower 1/4 panel, and various dents on body panels. Everything was duly repaired except that last 1/4 panel thing ... I bought a bumper that covers it up.
hmmm ... did I forget anything ... ?
Can post some pics later. I'm at work now.

Repeatedly broke grade 8 bolts holding my swaybar links to the swaybar..... whilst on-road, never offroad.
Broke the studs out of the collector on the stock manifold when I hit a rock rather badly, but hey, at least it wasn't my oil pan.

Messed up the front clip, stock bumper, and front right fender hitting a rail on ice. The clip is barely damaged, some lighting parts were broken have been replaced, when its warmer I will pull the fender and reform it, and going to build a new bumper anyway.
I am overly careful wheeling, haven't broken anything yet.
