Not much really considering what could happen (roll over, engine locking up...), but still it bummed me out a little.

I hit a rock going about 25 and damaged the rear rim. It was bent really bad. You can see where I have to beat on the wheel. I just pounded on it for some 10 minutes with a hammer in the parking lot. It seems to be working pretty good. Its been a couple of weeks and I have not had to add any air. I can't believe it didnt blow completely when it happened. You can really breat the crap out of an ATV at the Badlands.

 

Just by looking at the picture I can't even see any damage.

 

It's too bad we can't display images within a thread. How come? One reason to post at this site (to exchange stroies and pics) and it's not an option. It should be allowed, IMHO.

Anyway, the damage is difficult to see (somewhat) because I did such a great job repairing it, hehe.

You can't see the scratch up area on the rim? right side in the pic.

 

You're right MWHC. You can sure beat 'em up there.

I hit a boulder the first day on a brand new Scrambler up there. Bent the A-arm pivot rod.

I've got countless wheels dings from there, but not as bad as yours.
