Rubicon

No matter how much I support you on the trail. No matter how careful you are driving - there is always a chance of damage to the vehicles.

I have been very successful over the years to prevent major damage from occuring. Knowing the limits of the vehicles and handling them gently will keep them healthy for a long time. However, we all make mistakes and those unforeseen stresses accumulate over time and lead eventually to broken parts.
The breakage might just hapen to you. If so - don't feel bad. It was probably the straw that broke the camel's back.

Eventually the old trucks will all be replaced by newer cars - but make no mistake, it will not take long and they will carry their battlemarks as well. When I added a new Jeep TJ to my fleet the front fender was run into a tree the very first day. The wheels have to suffer the most

When I added new rocker panels on my CJ7 they had to work hard to protect the body from day one. They were scared right away.

Be assured: The vehicles are extremely capable - no matter how they look like.
