So, I was invited by my local shop to Fordyce Creek for a day of off road adventure. Now, I have never been there, but I knew it was a level 10 trail and tougher than Rubicon. Lets say my learning curve was steep but the rocks were steeper and I was way out done running with Jeeps, 2 had Hemi engines and another was just out of hand.

None the less, I went everywhere they went and was never pulled, towed or winched. Great guys, lots of fun. Video is not for the week stomach, you will hear metal on rock, be warned....

Rear Bumper – Very rashed
Drivers side rock slider – rashed
Passengers side – 2 big dents, bent, and rashed. Door does not close very well, whoops!
Exhaust tip – bent and twisted
Left rear shock housing smashed in a little, but okay to run
Front bumper has rash on right side
e-disconnect cross member is smashed flat on left and right sides, middle is fine.
Bent tie rod as well.
Need a new gas tank skid plate now.

 

Jumping in right now

 

You have gone before me

 

very cool my friend. i'm sorry to hear about your damages but it sure looked like it was worth it

 

You did it at Fordyce with your beloved JK! Well done! At least you did not break down over there!! Someday I will take my jeep over there!

 

Awesome video, that trail is no joke.

 

that was a awesome video, nicely done. you running lockers up front ? thanks for sharing

 

Damage was so worth it. It is all superficial stuff anyway. Did an alignment at the end of the day to correct the tie rod.

Last night I had to redo my front differential cover seal, she was leaking.

Nope, ran that with an open front, I only have the locker in the rear.

 

I couldn't get the video to load last night so I just saw it now.

Wow that gives me flash backs....It reminds me quite a bit of the Rubicon trail
That is some crazy wheeling!

Now that you have told us about it, we are intrigued.

 

Well, caint nobody ever accuse you of sissie wheelin.
