I would like to hear mistakes and errors that caused your JK to break down on trail. And how did you make it then...

My latest one was tearing my left rear brakeline , cause i had installed my TF BB left rear swaybar link on body/frame side instead of wheel side. At full flex it just cut it in two so i lost my brakes. It was cold freezing night and i went on for next 40 miles using only e-brake until morning came when i pinched that line with pliers to stop bleeding out all this fluid. It was on russian side and we were not able to locate a shop that could fix it. Actually nothing serious but if someone has links sameway installed this could happen to you when flexing.

 

Bookmarked and a for all you guys and girls that broke stuff and are going to teach us what not to do ...

 

First break, were on a trail after having Ruby a month and the little red light came on that is over the temp gauge that was normal. Rhonda my passanger/GF said pull over and shut it off before something blows up. So i pulled off to the side and shut it off and told her to rear the book, after about 15 mins found out that light is for security system and then we tried to restart the jeep and NOTHING!!!! Called the local dealer with no help then called DC with no help could NOT even get a tow truck to the area. then i had a thaught, thanks to Microsoft, computer screws up, shut off let it sit then restart, I did just that disconnected the battery let it sit and reconnected, ran fine for the rest of the day.

Second breaks, rear fender flares and bumper, let trees and rocks have there way and put inside and keep going and replace after getting new parts.

Third break, Completely my fault, was pulling a 30' log backwards with winch and wanted to go faster so put Ruby in 4Lo with lockers on and on top of rocks and tried pulling backward when SNAP/TING !!!!!!!!! got back off the trail in 2wd and took her home then called seattle jeep and then this pic

then a day later after the My jeep repair guy got it covered under warranty came this pic
.
YES that is the right front stub shaft or whats left of it.

so far thats it,
