How do you people manage to break so much stuff ???

I have a SJ413 narrow track, running 5.14:1 transfer with a 1,6 engine on 35" MTs 

This is my list for the last 5 years:

2 leaf springs
3 U-joints
2 stock transfer case rubbers. (indian made crap, my stock -86 rubber mounts are still holding up)
3 shock absorbers (cheap ones)
1 rear wheel bearing
1 front wheel bearing, got mud in it and it locked up doing 60  :o

Not much really. I run hard stuff but I know the limitation of my rig and try not to push past that to often.

Front cut:

I broke a stock kick axle with 235/75/15 tires. To be fair it was pretty abused
