Accident report:
It definitely was a great run. Rain didn't let up, but didn't stop any of us. Damage, as of now, is driver rear corner got smashed in entirely and took some of the tail light, passenger corner got a smashed a little at the bottom coming off a rock, smashed one rock light, bent the swaybar link disconnect pin, and the tire carrier rattles like a MoFo now...once day breaks, the list will grow, hopefully not.

Wow that sucks. Before I did my aev corners, I spoke with Mel and he told me he had some and could ship them basically right away. I think they were $830 and 60 for shipping. Andthey come in bare steel

Ah man dimirti that's too bad 
although I am a HUGE fan of evo's outlaw armor. I spoke with joe lightfoot from ore when he was doing the install on his 2dr evo project and they are available now.
EDIT: also have you checked out river raiders corners? They let you run the oro led lightdot lights also and it will be cheaper than evo, but not the whole panel like the outlaw armor. Just throwing that out there.

Dimitri man that hurts. I feel for you. Body damage really sucks unless you have a spray booth in your garage. I gauged my fender last week and didn't see it till I washed the dirt off, good thing it cant rust.
I guess thats what I get for wheeling with sahara flares. Good luck with your repairs.

Toys 4 Tots @ BTC in Connecticut. USMC hosted the T4T. JT4x4 out of CT hosted us at their exclusive trail and made a great order of hotdogs and coffee with snacks to sell to everyone to raise money for T4T as well. Here are some pics from the day and some carnage as well.

BTC is supposed to stand for Behind The Church, but, JT4x4 calls it Break Tons of Crap. I think they are right...
Even the guys in LIOR says that this has the most obstacles per square foot than any other trail we've been on. GREAT trail! 15 acres or goodness.

I do like the River Raider corners for the sole fact that you can use the ORO lights. BUT, I don't see where the strength comes from since you need to completely remove the corner's body down to the bare "opening". Looking for something that mounts over the body, so both the guard and body can have the "strength" to withstand a hit. Though, I slid into that tree pretty hard, not sure which corner guard would've held. I have a couple options to look at...
