    Exactly. Not to mention a DWI from the feds could be arguably worse in all regards

    Should I put off going to URE until my sliders come in? Do the trails there have a lot of rocks, etc., that might damage my rockers?

    You’ll be fine. Just take it easy and follow the guys that have been out there and know the trails

    Whens the last weekend the trails are open? I finally (think) I fixed a driveline noise, so I may try to make it out once before the end of the season.

    Don't put cheap ass parts on your vehicle and make sure the nuts/bolts are assembled correctly and tight. They said this was a protune kit.

    The stud pulled down out of the ball.. Either garbage parts and or shitty installation.

    It rained for a couple hours.

    Whole story was bonkers. For some reason they put eBay suspension on their TRD pro and then put a spacer lift on top of it.

    Then they went to URE on their TRD pro ebay spacer lift and hammered on it straight out of the gate and broke down not far from the trail head. They we're heading up the side of Dutch John that comes from the parking lot. Not even really on the serious obstacles yet.

    Dragged the tire back to the Dutch John parking lot and could have left the truck in a perfectly good location to tow or work on but then decided to try to drive the truck to the Outpost...
