Default First trail Damage
Well I was wheeling on the weekend on a skinny quad trail and the mud was so slippery that I slowly slid into a tree. I came out with only a couple little dents well more like small dimples that are barely noticable but the most damage I got was actually from the stock antenna.
Can i go to Dodge and get another trail rated badge and take that antenna out or is it the antenna for my Sirius Radio too?




Anyone else have any pics of thier first batlle scars with nature?

Some folks take off their trail rated badge and toss it. Post in the Wanted forum if someone doesn't
pick up on this thread and make you an offer (postage only, I should think).

Here's my tangling with a tree at Disney, OK when my son got the Jeep sideways on a hill, then gave
it to me to extricate (Okay, maybe he was following my instructions. LOL.):

Here are a couple vids of the trail where I was wheeling this weekend.
This should show how slippery the mud was

I bought the splitter for the CB antenna to double as my radio antenna. I will be covering up the stock antenna hole with a Trail Rated badge.

My first damage was peeling my passenger fender off on my buddies Dodge when the parking brake did not hold.

Heres where I broke my trac-bar bracket clean off the axle.

Heres when I ripped of the my rear flare and crunched in the door a bit.

A broken sway bar link that also shredded a tire.

And then a broken soft top surround frame leaning too far into some trees.
