Well the rear is a problem now, they flex much better and now get into the rear and started carving up my TSL's

Trip went well, carnage at the moment
1st Day
broke the grille off the truck in the first couple hours
Lots more body damage
2nd Day
Raining so i had my full door on and with the window down i pivoted on the door against a tree and exploded the glass, also broke the outside dorrhandle and the door wouldn't close after that. Pulled the door off then later pivoted aain and caught the b pillar pretty bad
Smashed the pass. door and now the window won't roll up all the way.
bent my exhaust which pinched it off, unbolted the glass pack to flow exhaust again but the cats are bent up and shoot exhaust right at the floorboard under the pass. seat
and at the end of the trip the RF broke.

only thing i care about is the Hub the rest is meaning less to me

the winch got a hell of a workout, but never to recover me. Their was a spot at the bottom of a hillside in the woods really off camber and extremely muddy, had to pull cable several times to clear the trail of other rigs stuck and sliding off the trail and out of the way.

started clearancing for the rear tires......tht trip to TT really tore up my RR tire when it got stuffed. Really ripped up the oter lugs of the TSL's. But i have retty much taken care of that problem now. Now i just need to finish it up and it'll just about be ready for another trip back out to TT this coming weekend.

At twisted trails i bent up my exhaust to the point of blocking it off completely. When i started it, the gases were blasting out the donuts and manifold to head gaskets. So i crawled under and unbolted my glasspack. Didn't look it it was bent enough to restrict it 100$ though

until i got home and looked inside the glasspack

And of course my only real damage, busted the joint at the axle. Had it fixed in less then 10, i had a spare short piece to the shaft with a joint and the axle flange ready to go. Just slip and bolt.

Spare Tire carrier held awesome even when i backed it into tree trying to climb a steep hill side covered in cement slaps.
 
language in this one has a bad spot
Sorry about that, it was a caught up in the moment thing. I wasn't very happy. Not only did the window break resulting me in getting wet the rest of the day, but the door was stuck closed. He could not get it open or closed, so I had to climb over his seat the rest of the day to get in/out of his truck.
But I had a blast regardless, I hadn't been wheeling since the event in May, Spring Fling/OSTC.
