when it comes to Jeeps offroad -
if you're not breaking something, you're not doing it right. but
that's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand.
hehe
come to think of it, have the Dakotas ever broken anything *real* while
offroad? tires, yes; transfer cases afterwards, yes; a few trim
pieces, yes; but if you discount waterlogging (no, Tom, this isn't
exclusive to you) - it probably eliminates even most of the problems
below.
Discounting the above, I think that leaves the Barney truck's brush
guard damage in '00; Tom's wheel bearing in '04; David's fan blade in
'99; and I thought Andy lost lots of fan blades from his '99 somewhere,
but I didn't see that.
... and then the '04 meet, which kinda proves me wrong....
