Tell us about the breakdown - did the parts fail in normal use or did you crash into something?

I was going ~20 through the woods and clipped the face of a downed log that was semi-hidden in some undergrowth. Terrabyte tire bounced up and we rolled to the edge of a ravine. Praise God no injuries!

Used a come-along to flip it back over, couple of ratchet straps to keep the wheel components from snapping off and then drug it out of there with a truck and a winch

Not sure if anything failed, I think it's fair to chalk this one up as an operator error. No issues up to this point and I'm not one to baby my vehicles lol

I did the same thing, clipped a big downed log at about 25mph, broke my wheel right off and tore the tabs. But we didn't roll!

Nope, I never even took a pic of that one. Did about $900 worth of damage

New to the SxS game. 2018 P1000-5 I bought in Feb, stumbled on this forum looking for ball joint repair info and it seems like a great community

I'll include some pics of the recovery/repair. From what I can tell 2 busted ball joints and the upper A-arm broke off the chassis. Parts ordered

If anyone has suggestions of hidden issues I should check for or repair tips, lmk!

Edit: the pic I took was right off the trailer, the jack stands are now at the appropriate lift points
