    I damaged the crap outta my truck at Eagle Lakes. But to be fair one rocker panel was from accidentally going up the start of Fordyce and not paying attention. The rear bed quarter panel was from going up to signal peak and picking a bad line.

    If you avoid doing either of those you'll be fine with out sliders.

    Sounds good. I may have another friend in his FJC run Signal with us. I'm not lifted but on 295's with sliders and have F+C+R lockers.

    I inflicted similar damage on Signal Peak last year, though not as severely as yours. Was able to pound most of the dents out from the back side.

    Its the primary reason for my new CBI bumper :

    I'm looking at similar bumpers with the wrap around. I'd like something I can build my own tire swing out onto. I put an aux fuel tank in the spare tire location.

    That's a good idea....I might do this as well. I was thinking maybe going to Hollister Hills but this sounds way better.

    Yea, so I guess I'm out on this one. Just got a freaking nail close to the corner of my tire and don't want to chance it not holding on the trail. Until I get a new tire I guess......

    @Fernando I'll let you know tomorrow. Trying to figure out an intermittent little pop pop pop in my steering. What time are you leaving Fridsy? Camping at the same spot?
