Well heres some pics of the damage from the badlands. I was in a VERY tight section and had to make the turn a bit wide. As i began turning in my left rear started to go up and my right front goin down. The left rear is WAy in the air. THeres a branch or root i was trying to avoid, so thats why i had to tak the turn so wide and at a bad angle. Well anyways the dirt gave way and i slid sideways into the root or branch and hit it. I had to drive off so it left a bad marking on the side. As you can see in the pics. When i was going ack up that section i got stuck when it started to downpour on me. 45 mins later a grizzy atv pulled me out and took a different route. I was pissed, cold wet and tired. But ultimatly i had fun. Sorry for no pics of the stuck, but it was a bad emergency as there was a tornado watch for the area so i was worried. This happend on January 2nd by the way,

then your Urban wheeler quote is true :)

The further you go off road the less of a trail you get to work with

yeah.... get a few more and they blend nicely. i got a big dent in my door at the cliffs, and when i went to the badlands the same door got hit in another spot and popped most of the dent out, but now its a little crumply by the keyless entry. I need to disco my front sway bar next time so i can at least get a little better flex and not leave paint on all the trees. :D

I need to learn how to drive before i :roll:

let me know next time you go to the badlands. i might be interested in tagging along. its kind of sad that an atv had to pull you out. lol. i wish i would have seen that though. whatever works right? :confused:

Imleave to school on thursday and i dont know what to do. Anyways (calm down) he popped the lock through the window with one of those bars. i hate to ask, but can anyone in the area (ohio and indiana or michigan ) help me out here? I am desperate right now. The only tools i have rioght now is a 24 piece made in china with 10 pieces missing.
