Nothing too major...her down to the frame in this thick, sticky mud last weekend. The only damage I could find was the rear bumper being a little bent but that can be solved w/a tree and a chain.
We busted up my roommates bumper on his new JK but that was the only damage for the day!
We are going again this weekend after finals are through...hopefully nothing major will happen
On Edit: Some of these stories are HILARIOUS!

Am I too old to play in this forum?
Most of you already know but for the newbs...
I completely ripped my D44HD to shreads (read - grenaded) within 3 seconds of being in 4wd.
Broke all 4 shafts (inners and outers) at the yokes, broke the short side shaft just past the splines, broke the passenger side locking hub in half, Shoved the outer stub into the face of the driver side hub popping the twist **** off, twisted the splines on the long side shaft and probably did damage to the detroit but I never pulled it before I sold the axle. This was all done with new spicer life series joints installed, not the crappy worn out stuff most of you are running.
for those who say pics or it didnt happen....
Ive also twisted the splines on 3 Moser 1541H alloy D60 FF shafts and have broken 4 or 5 (cant remember) stock shafts. Ripped the frame mount off for my traction bars (bolted on with 2- 1/2x1.5 grade 8 hex bolts) and lost the lid to my cooler while playing in the mud from June '07-present

what did that d44 come out of? is that a closed knuckle low pinion? I noticed how the hubs bolt on from the outside with hex bolts rather than the later style hex screws.
Do what you want with the snorkle. If youre that worried about it route it in the cab. I wouldnt do it your way because Id break the mother off every time I went out. PVC pipe belongs under houses not on mud trucks.

gears my good man. the 300 will need 4.88-5.13s to keep good 39s spinning.

Street Queen to the extr3m3
well first off "duner", it wasn't a personal attack on you, but it is now. I wasn't saying you actually hadn't done it, but rather that I wanted to see some pics of this INSANE stunt, because when most people do things like that, people have it on camera. Now I can believe that you haven't done it, just because you got so defensive.
Bite Me.
Bite Me.
Noticed there still aint any pics...
as for the snorkel...
to each his own.
Me personally i would go in the cab... But thats just me.
