Wanted to see what the worse damage is that someone has done off-roading and what it cost to repair. Pictures/links if you have them.

Here's the page we use to scare people away from our Rubicon trips. :D

I hate body damage, and usually fix it up/hide it right away.

I have lots of rollover pics too if you want to see massive carnage.

ive got to fix all my dents and crap, both sides of my cab look like this pic from the album above. http://www.norcalttora.com/gallery/album60/aaq as well as above the extra cab windows and front fenders, wondering if it would be cheaper to just buy a new/used cab :confused:

I do'nt have a straight panel anywhere on my truck (Including lid) nosedives, tips and most recently rollover. I considered my options and decided to only fix the little things like windows,mirrors,lights,doors (so they would close) and leave the rest, since I'll probably put more dents in it later. Eventualy I'll fix the cab and replace the front fenders.
I think Mike has a pic of my truck rubber sideup.

My liver took a serious beating on this run, can't even begin to calculate the severity of the damage or ultimate cost.

Other than that, I've been lucky... :D

Whatever x-rays, an MRI, 2 orthopedist visits, and 3 primary physician vists cost (i refused physical therapy).

That beat out the concussion (no pic, no damage).

To MY truck...I've been lucky. My bed is almost unuseable (bottom seperated from front and starting on sides, too many holes from spare tire mount getting ripped out, small dent/scratch from Mike Ross sliding into me), one of my rear windows was destroyed from the flying spare tire (done when I got the concussion in JTree), cab dents from jumping the truck. Nothing major at all. I've been lucky. :D

I still feel bad about that! You'd think I would know how to drive after all these years, LOL!

Chuck Gardella is pretty good with motel parking lot body work. He pushed that dent out from the inside, then went to the Kragen down the street and got some burgundy spray paint. A few minutes later you could hardly tell that there was a huge boulder dent. :D

Hahahaha! You and Jerry both ignored me on going left! That was fun times... kinda. LOL I still like looking at it knowing it was the one judgment error (for lack of a better term) I've seen from you while driving off road. hehehe

I make judgement errors every day of my life. Fortunatly that is the only one that has resulted in sheet metal carnage to someone else's rig. LOL!

We must have angered the Pismo gods that weekend.

It's all good. It gives my truck character. LOL It's never bothered me and give me bragging rights occasionally.

The Pismo gods definately mellowed out after that weekend.
