I've never broken a windscreen. count every thing else as broken.

2 engines (1 wear, 1 abuse) plenty of engine mounts
gearbox rooted (sure it's a shoey shift)
std transfer case gears ('lost' the oil)
the case itself,tore a hole in the side
plenty of transfer mounts,
several alternators, starters and radiators (what? they don't like mud?)
couple of steering boxes,(tire size and rocks verses box)
sector shaft (bad tree!)
steering column spacer (it's the little things that stop you)
several panels (hang on, I wanna try something)
assorted leaf springs,
shocks with unauthorised bends in them
plenty of holed tyres, bent rims
put a star picket through the passenger side floor- patch is still there
2 half inch rod ends attempting a burnout on a rock
crushed a $900 exhaust so bad the car wouldn't run 4 hours after it was fitted
Aprox 20 suzi cv's , couple of front inner axles,
A dana 44 front inner axle (in front of 80 people at a show being silly)
dana 44 front air locker
a couple of sierra hubs

More seals and bearings reduced to mud seives than I care to remember

You just stepped up a notch in my book!:thumb:

[rustyzook]

hahahaha yeah i have water in my diffs as i found out to day but not motor! nice work! with that juzzyr!

[GRPABT1]

In six months of owning it I have done 4 engine mounts (GTi motor) one starter motor, one ding in the bullbar and a bucket load of scratches. I'm amazed at how tough my zook seems to be compared to the rest on here, I wheel it to nearly the point of rolling every week and still asks for more.

[rustyzook]

you just havent got one with enough rust in it! want me to help it out you can have some of myrust i have more than enough :thumb:

[GRPABT1]

That was the best part of the buy, not a spec of rust on her.

[jacques]

lets add cracked head to that aye
bastard engine:(
and some rust starting up in a couple of spots:crazy:
keep wheeling

[mick85]

no rust yet, but got and still have a broken lower parking light due to mud, pierced a shock somehow?, water pump, replaced timing belt, and as of today found water leaking in to cabin somewhere but its a softtop so it was only a matter of time:)

[juzzyr]

check which way rain usually falls in your area. in my area it usually comes from west and i find i only get leaks when i park side on to it. just don't leave the top off like i did and get struck by a massive thunderstorm. thank god for the rubber bungs under the floor mat and my trusty can of lanolin spray. emptied out so i could drive home and no rust

[rustyzook]

humm seams my sills and my doors are still full of water! might have to make some drain plugs

[Reedy]

Never really broken anything until the weekend at our forum meetup where I broke a transfer case mount, luckally I had some rope to tie it up and get me home!!! It happend on a near virtical rocky climb and launching it only to come down with a bit too much right foot and bang!!!!

[Trogdor]

my old orange one, well i rolled it and was going to fix it and came across my new one for $1000 so it just made sense to buy it and sell my other one, i sold it to a guy who wanted the brand new 2 inch lift and sliders and towbar off of it.

i rolled it on a country road doing about 25k's around a corner lol don't ask me how it happened all i now is that it involved gravel a step up in the road and narrow track diffs lol.

[Trogdor]

Airconditioning System from the Compressor Backwards (Bar the Hoses)

Every Bearing you can think of

Previous owner pushed the alloy Bullbar back onto the grille causing a night mare with the bar rattling.. which is now fixed
Usual papercone speaker and Headunit issues(all replaced)
Blocked heater drain hose.. 4 litres of water in the heater slowly leaking into the cabin..also causing a RANK smell when the air con was on..'
Changed the Battery Terminals as the old ones were rusted and too small for the New battery I had bought...


and now an incurable Engine miss fire at under 2400rpm making it hard to do low range work..


Rear window washer jet clogged with some stringy Black stuff..
Front washers, only one works on the Drivers Side...

[GRPABT1]

Add noisey lifters to mine, Hopefully a good engine oil flush and change will fix that though.

[rustyzook]

yeah i have a ticker to! and today my input shaft seal went in the trannie :( any one know how to change and where i can get another seal? should i do the 3 at once?

[Thanh]

if your running the standard 1.3 then they have lash adjustment. Also know as valve clearance or tappet adjustment. It should have the correct gap under the hood on the service information sticker.

[GRPABT1]

GTi motor=non adjustable. Apparently they just clog up after a while and a good flush fixes it normally.

[rustyzook]

1Ltr not able to read stickers as they were painted over by some idot opps i mean me
