I blew my Jeep up this weekend. 
2 days after installing a new transmission. I got crossed up in a 3 foot across stream crossing and got stuck. Almost flipped it on its side tring to get out. Gave up and tried to winch out and broke the roller fairlead witch snapped the 8,000lbs cable. Starved the motor of oil and spun a rod bearing. Awesome hu?
O and to top it off my GoPro ran out of memory before it recorded the motor letting go.

Well I pulled my boat home with it. It did great all the way until I was backing into the driveway. And well when I replaced my steering box I kinda wedged the lower trans cooler line right up against my electric fan and it wore a hole in the line. So now I gotta replace it.

Just washed her. And by washed, I mean I put 6oz of Simple Green in a Home Depot bucket of hot water, and I got the clumps of grass and mud off her. Now she's dirty in swirly patterns, but that shouldn't stop me from getting through the gate tomorrow since nothing will be falling off...as long as they don't look underneath. I left the roof and both cargo area windows untouched as a trophy

Finally got my front bumper mounted. Hell ya.
Put a gun sight on it to hurry people up in the crosswalk. LMAO
Wired my Hellas into the factory fog light switch with an upgraded relay and wiring. Works great.
