Same casualty on mine except I did both sides followed by a new XRC bumper a few months later. I would chop it or look for a new bumper.

Here is a few but not all on the same day, I'll start with the first thing I did and go down the line.
  • Pin stripped my hood, A-pillars, and painted fenders
  • Destroyed steering stabilizer after landing on a rock
  • Chipped a wheel
  • Crushed my muffler outlet tip on a rock
  • Crushed the end of my rear bumper on the same rock
  • Destroyed the OEM front drive shaft and tore both boots
  • Pushed my rock rails into my rocker panel but they held before destroying now tweaked

Can't wait to get out there again!

Too many to list show pics of....
First time to Rausch Creek i
-Bent my tie rod (bent in March, still on my rig! Lol)
-damaged wheels
-tattooed my drivers door

I think the damage adds character and each ding, dent, and scratch is a memory!

On the way home from the dealer, I scratched up the wheels on a trail near my house - owned it for less than an hour.

-Added some custom hood and passenger pinstriping
-Crushed the passenger front flare and tore the plastic bumper from the mounts.
-Gave myself a reason to dip my wheels
-Put a long dent in the skids
-Dented my pride by getting stuck for the first time (but it was awesome!)
