Look, I am sorry that your father passed away. Nobody should have to go through that at your age, and I know it's probably been, and still is ******* you and your family.
Regardless of how much you paid and what not, that's beside the point. The point here is, you suffered some trail damage. IT HAPPENS. The more you wheel, the more damage you will get. Whether it's a dented exhaust pipe, dented and/or scratched doors, or even something more severe. This is the price that is paid for wheeling. You also posted on here asking for opinions on what to do, and how that if your mom found out she'd never let you wheel the Jeep again. You got your opinions, all of them are valid. While they may hurt you and upset you, the old saying "the truth hurts" comes to mind.
I highly encourage you to read back through this thread and follow some of the advice. If you
know your mother doesn't want you wheeling the Jeep, maybe you shouldn't. Also, before you go wheeling again or do anything to the Jeep, sit back and spend a lot of time
searching through the site, as well as L.O.S.T. You will find tons of info on how to properly equip your Jeep, so as to keep trail damage to a minimum, which will keep you and your mom happy. I've also noticed that you've made a lot of new posts lately on topics that have been beaten to death on here. You're not the first to do that, but please, before you post a new topic, search and see if it's been covered already. If it has, post in that thread rather than making a new one. This helps to keep things organized and easier for others who are new and learning to find
With that said, this thread is done. If you have any further concerns, take it to PM.
