I was amazed how little it was when I walked up to it. Nothing a bit of rear tub massaging and A pillar armor won't fix. Makes me want to buy a pillar armor sooner than later

I’ve already ordered the A Pillar armor from GR. Here’s the damage.
I just noticed the gopro mount, was there one there? If so we need to see that footage to properly assess.
At least you were having fun wheeling when you got that A-pillar dent. I got mine while it was sitting in my carport, lol!
Pritchett today. I stayed on all 4’s. Rough. I’m not ready for it, but we got through thanks to @NashvilleTJ and his brother Dave.
The entrance to Chewy has changed dramatically since last year (as conveyed to me by Nashville). It’s very interesting. Lots of boulders and ledges to navigate.

Mirror is fine. It just folded. I’m very fortunate. The thing is, if we had stacked a few rocks it would have walked right up. As it was I was searching for traction and kind of went in a daze.
Its amazing how fast something like that can happen, when all four tires break traction. Thankfully, I didn't roll, but had something similar happen last year, trying to get up a ledge. Fully locked and all four spinning. Moved the steering wheel, and all of a sudden the Jeep went sideways and the front fell off the ledge. I don't think it was close to rolling, but it was enough of a drop to spook the shit out of me and it took me a couple hours to shake it off.
Glad your OK! Jeep can be fixed.
More pics when I can get them from Nashville and his brother Dave. Probably next week. I’m taking off today to head home. Finished these trails in this order. All but Fins were on the hit list:
Hell’s Revenge (Escalator)
Fins-N-Things
Poison Spider
Golden Spike
Gold Bar Rim
Kane Creek Canyon (winch on Hamburger Hill)
Behind the Rocks (flop)
Pritchett Canyon (winch on Chewy, Rocker Knocker and Axle Hill)

It’s already been eventful. Idle Bearing Pully et went between Green River and Price UT. I heard the bearings hit the highway. Serpentine was half gone. I cleared the wheel debris and was fortunate to make it 33 mi to O’Reilly’s in Price. Im back on the road. It had been making some noise. We assumed it was some dirt from the exit’s from Behind the Rocks and Pritchett. They’re long, dusty, and horrible.
This is all that was left.
All good now.
It was wobbling but I didn't think it'd fail that quick.
Glad you're back on the road. Remember to pull over if you're tired.
