    Also went wheeling on Saturday.
    [​IMG]

    and smashed some stuff up lol :anonymous:

    Nothing major though... skids are trashed, tagged both diffs on rocks though and now the front front diff is leaking a bit from the pass seal where the cv sits (easy fix).

    Bent a rim coming up the Body Shop... (steel wheels ftw! :D) We just beat it back with a hammer until it stopped leaking. (It's not leaking in the pic) I'll just fix it with the dogbone at work and swap it with one of my spare rims. :cool:
    [​IMG]

    Found this when I got home... Probably from one of the ledges on the waterfall but i may have the body shop to thank for this as well. Good news is that I didn't notice any vibes coming home on the freeway. :notsure: So i think there's nothing to worry about.

    Nope... still haven't come to my senses. :(

    I want to finish up the bumper and skid plates and clean up some things here and there before she officially goes up for sale... I really don't want to sell a half-finished project, ya know?

    In the mean time, I'd like to go on a few more wheeling trips.... My parents haven't even gone wheeling with me yet, so I want to take them on a mellow trip as well, before it's gone. ;)
    :anonymous:
    Thanks!

    I didn't catch the almost tip over on camera. I was watching though, it was a pucker factor for sure.

    Nice videos Silas, at the time you bent the rim, why didn't you just steer hard driver? I know videos are deceiving, but you could of avoided hitting that rock (from the looks of it)

    Also, the DS damage isn't shit, you should see mine :D scratches don't do anything, dents do haha.
