Well, what is your damage history or what are you living with now?

I've smashed my tailpipe near closed -- need to chop off the end already. Also got a ding in the door because of a pipe fall in the garage -- I don't mind mother nature beating up the Jeep, but when it's a man made object, that's BS. I also smashed my old plastic bumper when I had one in a t-bone collison -- other driver didn't yield to me.

 

I know my Sahara red rock fenders are taking on quite a few scratches and chips, just from normal road driving. Maybe that's why black fenders are better.

 

i wish i had some of those fenders, my sahara fenders are about the same

 

Here's my list.
New Motor, new transmission, new transfer case, new front axle, new front drive line, 3 ring and pinion gears sets, rear axle, rear locker, 2-3 steering stabilizers, tie rod, drag link, 3 tires, punctured side walls.
There's probably a few things more I'm missing.
All of these were from trail damage too.


My 1000 post too!!

 

That is why my Jeep is an outdoor Jeep.

My front bumper has a lot of nicks and bruises, one of the skids plates has a gash in it and I also have some scratches on the fender on hard top, nothing major ... yet

 

Nothing major on mine, the worse is loose stock plastic fender on front of the passenger side. Stupid monster size Cholla cactus jumped in front of my Jeep and broke the plastic clips that secure the fender to the body...come to think of it, the Cholla also punctured the sidewall of one of my tires...
There's also the classic "desert stripes" from various other trees/plant life in the sonoran desert...

 

just a good ding in the rear bumper, I would need to clean it to check for scratches.

 

Bumpers destroyed.
Fenders ripped off.
Snorkel torn off and smashed into hood.
Wheels defaced.
Side steps shredded.
Fan motor dead.
alternator dead.
Windshield cracked.
Multiple items damaged in recent vehicle flooding....still undetermined as to what all makes the list.

 

On my first JK (last year)

- had to change the alternator (deep water damage in trail)
- rear wiper destroyed by the car wash machine
- soft top damage by a tree
- rear trac bar bracket broken
- e-disco motor broken
- Two RC 2.2 shocks broken

 

Is there a difference between a "ding" and a "dent" ?
