Who has worst self inflicted damage to their Bronco?

[Arrowbear Rider]

dunno why you'd gun it like that.

Simple, young, dumb and full of...

The thrill from the skinny pedal is too much for them.

I remember this thread but I don't remember the end conclusion. Was it totalld

Yeah, that was mine.... Totalled.
Insurance paid out more that what I paid for it.
I have a Heritage 2 door on the way now.

Dented fuel tank. Stuck on an underwater stump at Tahuya, WA.

I'm going to have to find that stump, I could use the extra clearance.

Well.... Since you're asking....

You can't park there.

Wow yall send it! I jumped in one time and left the back glass open an started pulling out of the garage caught it in time but my buddy said I would have been inconsolable.

I got a few scratches from this adventure.

Are those the Roll over airbags popped out? That's a bad day right there........

Due to a rookie spotter I gouged my right front fender flare and both right side wheel rings. Another spotter, who's husband was on 40"s and she sent me through the same path he went and she had me banging my sliders on boulders; I now have new sliders, the fender flare I just heated and smoothed as best I could, oh well.

Very similar experience. Not blaming it on the spotter, but the guy ramroding the ride and I had different ideas as to a beginner rock crawl trail.

In the pic in my avatar I actually had the passenger door handle crunched up against a tree. Door handle is cheap enough, but it pushed the door skin in pretty good! Also crunched a taillight on a tree that same day. The trees up north must miss me?

A character from a comic strip once popular with Boomers and Gen X used to have regular interaction with "The Kite Eating Tree." Haven't thought about that for years until your experience with Bronco Eating Trees.

HOLY CRAP!

Thats the wrong way to reach the oil filter.

Not my rig but a buddy who was wheeling with us at Rausch sent it HARD in the drink…

FYI - that’s not MGV & wash out interior

Yeah all the rollbar bags and bags in the front seats popped. They did their job though, my passenger stated it was like rolling over onto a pillow. No injuries, so all good in my book.

When did they come out with Seawater Gray?

I can relate to that.

Beginner, average... what's acceptable damage.

Acceptable? I'd rather none, but the fender flare wasn't too upsetting, and it was a teaching moment for my buddy and me... AND the guy who stopped in the wrong place on the trail.; he admitted to blocking. My friend learned to see the whole picture, back left corner v. front right corner, AND there's always reverse when it not working. I learned to "just stop!" and get out and instruct, back up a bit if necessary too, but don't let someone put you into a root or rock because you WANT them to be right.

Slid backwards into a small tree on a steep hill in the woods one night.
First time having it out in snow and ice.
Glad it was just the tail light.

For sure not the worst on here!
