Default What is most likely to break in a stock JK if I ride him hard?

Hello !

What is most likely to break in a stock JK if I ride him hard?

On the 2007 JK I had, I detached part of the manifold in a rough ride and the Jeep had 5k mileage.

Now I got my new 2014 beauty and people is telling me horror stories to go with the story I have.

What mods are priority to be able to offroad with a cleaner concience.?

I would
I've to banter with this one, but I'll leave it. As for your question, it really depends on what "hard" action is going on. A jump? A boulder? Washed out roads? Really depends on the terrain, inertia dm direction. He'll, I've seen many things break. Steering stabilizers, tie rods, axles, drive shafts, suspension, control arms, control arm mounts, mufflers, fenders, steering column...... You get the idea. Just depends on the condition of your rig, set up, how hard and on what terrain. Lots to break on any vehicle.

Front axles (U-joints), ball joints and tie rod.
