Who has worst self inflicted damage to their Bronco?

[SevenT]

How do you handle a situation like this with insurance?
Or do you not? lol
I have zero experience with off-road damage.

In Colorado, all trials have numbers and I was on C261 going to Bill Moore Lake. It cost me my deductible and an additional $12,000+. Needless to say, my premium went up. I now have 37s and an Icon 3 inch lift. I don't have to take the same line as others (8 trucks that day and I was number 8; the rocks said only 7 could pass).

Had to install a set of take-off Signature LEDs

I would agree that Tyler has done more to F-up his Bronco with more incidents, I would also argue that Tyler can drive as well as most on the forum, until he gets to the extreme, then he'll send it and roll it. I've spent half a day in his Bronco with no problems and like most drivers that like to be in control, I'll notice when someone is being stupid or incompetent.

But put him in front of a level 8,9 or 10 with the camera running and the "marketer"/little kid comes out and he'll send it! He can because he views his Bronco as a tool/toy to do with as he pleases and he can afford to fix it.

I'm too old to deal with the break down on the trail and can't afford the expense, but he can deal with both, so watch his videos and have fun and learn from his mistakes...err showboating. Better him than you.

PS, Surprisingly, guys sending it on jumps have done more serious damage than he has rolling his.

I like you response seeing as you have hung out with him, I have not only meet him once in Moab last year. I to have had self inflicted wounds my self, just like you stated using the skinny peddle when should have come to a stop. I taking the wrong line and tipping on my side.

Wrong line on he Escalator Moab broken windshield, mirror, smashed windshield pillar, scratches to the body roof.

Should have lift off the gas, but gave it more. Hells Gate destroyed both front axles. Trail repair remove the Cvs and drive out on in two wheel drive. Replace with the Dana Ultimate 44.

I cannot find the photo but I remember the gut that got stuck out in a bay and the tide came in. Bronco was ingulfed and covered by the ocean. I would say that is #1.

Man, my wife accidently put a tiny door ding in mine, you can see it in the right light. But I didn't want to show up anyone lol.

Holy crap gang, some very "FESTIVE" pix! Love it! The one above of the guy surfing on the side of it on the rock is awesome!

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?

Chain saw.

I shaved both doors on a trail back in July of 2022.

[/QUOTE]
That is definitely more than a shave. I would call that a scalp. Sorry to see, but this sometimes happens on the trail.

You should see my back seats after giving my toddlers their snacks.
I'd almost take body damage over the inevitable interior mess that ensues.
Like, what possesses a child to smear yogurt on their window...like, WHY???

100% this! LOL

I think the dude that sunk his BRaptor within a few weeks of buying it, thought water fording beyond the limits was a good idea. I’ll have to try and find that link.

This thread reiterates to me how poor I am
