Looks like you need a new shackle, ouch.


Looks cool though.

Yeah. Brainstorming on getting stock replacements from napa and adding my own reinforcement or build custom set altogether. Time time time...

Went through some video and uploaded to last night of some basic stuff. One shows the pinch log that left me beauty marks on both rear bed panels.


Here's a teaser shot from the main obstacle called the waterfall. I'm still going through that video.

Didn't want to believe it, but got a dinger in the driveshaft. :/ Oh well, comes with the territory.

Pulled it out tonight to take in for retubing.


Initial rock garden teaser:



Now the Pinch Log that got me on both my rear panels. This is going in. I left the raw audio and I think the hit can be heard.... bah!

Looks like it's not only the driveshaft that has been hit.


WHY DON'T YOU HAVE SKIDS ON THAT TANK!!!???

You paint your grille? looks nice.

That second video, I would never take my truck on that trail, maybe my mountain bike, but not my truck.

Is that dust or smoke in the 2nd video?

The driveshaft is the only thing important needing the protection.

Gas tank had a skid...broke last summer. I have one in the works. Typically you don't need one though given larger tire size.

Yes. Painted the grill.

This is so you can watch me go on these trails....where Heeps think they are the only ones that can.

It's not smoke. It's the shade/light through the windshield. Fortunately it was not too dry and I certainly wasn't driving fast enough to make dust.

Not bad. What are you cutting off? Those are your HP 60's, right?

dude, you were up late!

All the stock brackets comes off. Will be putting a truss on over the top. The top one is the High Pinion 60. The bottom is the rear Dana 70, not HP. Only certain aftermarket rear axles can be high pinion I believe.
