    Last week I was driving on some forest trails with a buddy and while going back the way we came from to call it a day I had been leading and there was a small over crest that i couldint see since it was beyond my hood line. I ended up dropping my front right tire into a rutted ditch and landed my frame on the ground, It definitely felt like a rough landing in the seat. I was going about walking speed before dropping into the ditch. Other than a couple bare metal scratches on the frame i couldint find anything damaged and there wasint a scratch on the cab/rocker panels. However it did cross my mind that the cab mounts might be compressed/damaged or the metal around that area bent and sure enough i stuck my finger between the frame and cab and the drivers side (where i landed it on) does feel a tad bit tighter. Is my truck totaled (joke) and should i be concerned? Unfortunately i didint take any pics as i sanded down and painted it as soon as i got home.

    Sorry if y'all hate answering my questions but the uncertainty is killing me, thanks.

    No clue if you did any damage. But I will say that I think these trucks are a bit tougher than many here give them credit for. If it drives OK and nothing is visibly damaged, then I would just drive it and be happy.

    Seriously though, I doubt you hurt anything major. If you were going walking speed and only came down on dirt, you're probably fine. Granted, sliders are a bit beefier but i've come down on rocks on my sliders before and barely left a scratch (I've left a quarter size dent in them too, depends how hard you land I guess :notsure:)
    Maybe a picture?

    How does it drive?

    I think you're good. You would have to measure before/after the incident and you only have the after report...save yourself the stress

    Missed that the first go-round, if the frame hit first the cab mount probably didn't even touch ground, if it did it probably hit some soft buildup on the shoulder?

    I don't know if you damaged your cab mount. Does it look damaged?

    You are looking at this all wrong man! You clearly did not buy this thing to go Mall Crawling. This is just the first of many "beauty marks" you are going to impart on her while you are having fun doing what it was made to do.
