This was a bit hairy for a few mins. We blazed a new trail on the right to get in front to strap you back on all fours. This was pretty dang close to becoming a member of the R.O.P. as only 2 wheels were on the ground for about 5 mins. I have another view of this on one of my cameras somewhere. Want it posted? :

Thought id show the damage to the hulk...

This is my testament that superlift has fixed their issues because I took this hit hard enough to bend the hell out of my ttb and the brackets and radius arms held up with no damage...so so far id say they should be fine.

What did you hit and how fast were you going? Don't think I've ever seen a ttb bend like that from wheeling.

A rock and faster than I thought apparently but I was in 4 lo 1st gear so maxed out couldnt have been more than 10mph

Dave Alfrado (sp?) did that in truckhaven a couple of years ago.

You the man Paul!

Thanks very much for the wedding gifts! Looking forward to spilling beer on them. And, (maybe TMI) but I plan on consummating our marriage in the shirt later tonight.

James & Dana

You're right, TMI. . .

Figured you'd get a kick out of them, or if not, use 'em as shop rags. . .

I figured after the Koozy to "keep your beer cold", anything was fair game. . .

Well after all the Moab carnage I had, after getting home, the front end got torn apart, and after realizing the front gears and locker were shot, got those on order and found that I had a couple of bad ball joints on the passenger side, both needle bearings in the spindles were dry and falling apart, and all the seals on the hubs and spindles were gone. The rear leafs were W shaped and my pinion angle changed.

So I adressed all the front end issues and added an anti wrap bar to the rear with new Old Man Emu leafs. She's back on 4 wheels now, goes to the exhaust shop on Friday to relocate the muffler to the spare tire area since the anti wrap bar is now currently occupying the stock muffler location. After that, I wait 2 weeks for the extra leafs for the OME springs to show up from Australia and we'll be back on the trail.
