    I thought so...the big waterfall only happens during the spring when the water level is really high. Today was the first time I got to see that.

    How was wheeling? You were at Rausch right?

    :cool: It was a good day...got rained on, snowed on, got some good pics. And the rain washed Toy on the drive home so I don't have to go to the car wash! :D

    Sorry aboot the ipad...

    Hi Keith
    Wheeling was good. We went down a trail that most had no business on, there was some damage. The only issue I had was my LCA bolts being loose after my last alignment and the LCAs pretty much floating wherever they wanted. I got them close to back to normal and tightened down for the ride home. Lost a little tread on the outside edges on the 80 mile drive.

    Was it that rocky/rough or just a really tight trail?

    Day was ok... dug out the wet wood from my back door and put trash bags over it to keep it dry... looks kinda ghetto, but hopefully will allow the area to dry before I fix it... Looks like the damage is only below the bottom hinge, so should be able to repair it.... Lowe's has the pieces I need and they are plastic, so no worries about any more damage in the future. Gonna seal the stuffing out of it.

    :eek: just a little more water now

    That trail was pretty easy, though tight. I went out in the morning with a Prerunner, a bone stock 2012 4x4 and another truck. We stayed to the easier trails just to get their feet wet.

    Is it just water rot or have bugs gotten to it as well? Hope you're able to fix it up!

    didn't see any bugs thank god.... just wet wood/rot. Scared to pull the frame apart... never done it before. Guy at Lowe's showed me the pieces I need... If I can cut both pieces, can fix it for under $40. Just hope I don't find any more damage once I tear it apart. :eek: Then it'll be a replace job and $800 - half door and half labor.

    It's amazing how fast their antlers grow and that they do it every year.

    So its the frame thats bad and not the door itself? Seems expensive either way... fingers are crossed that you don't have any more troubles.

    Yep, he was a pretty big boy too. Most of the other bucks I saw today were about half that size.

    Yeah, it's the frame and not the door. They say if you have to replace the frame, it's better, easier to replace the whole door - not something I can do by myself. :(

    Haven't seen that in a long time. Love Bill Murray and John Candy - they are great!!

    Frames are pretty easy to do but wou will need some advanced skills.

    Lowes probably does not sell frames.
