    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Literally.

    No perks at my place. I try to get by with the least amount of effort possible. I do have solidworks so I draw truck parts, lol.

    I thought you were talking about the man thong. That brewery was looking to mess me up.

    I don't get the thing about a company not doing any type of work incentives. Image how much work they'd get out of me. I do get plenty ideas to think about what to do to my truck.

    Also had the hoop and light tabs welded on while getting checked out :thumbsup:

    Was there any information on what could have been the cause? Any kind of maintenance that could prevent the next cause possibly? Was it just one of those "freak accident" type deals, possibly? In short, any type of information that could have caused the issue in the first place?

    To Mike, Madison, and everyone else on the OC thread
    Other than that, glad that she is able to get it back on the road!!! Just to say it one last time and be done with it, I humbly say that it was a learning experience for ALL parties involved!!! Something to look back on and try, as much as possible, to be better prepared and better communications for the next triage type situation. I wasn't even there, but hearing, reading, and posting definitely made me THINK, at the very least about the situation for sure. Anyways, just my last thoughts about it and hope that everyone takes something from this experience. I honestly think that we all get along pretty good at the meets, on trail runs, and on the OC bs (LOL) thread!!! To let something like this start breaking members apart is just not worth it, again, my humble opinion. Just something that we ALL can learn from!!! Have a good day people and happy wheel'n to ALL!!! Remember, life is just too F'N SHORT people!!! :thumbsup::fistbump::cheers::drunk::mudding:

    @eccracer104 and @YotaGurlIAm , no bull. I flipped open my center console to grab by air gauge and this sticker was lodged in a corner. Hey, Madison. It's yours if you want it. So happy to see Taun Taun with a clean bill of health. Respect! :hattip:

    Well said. Over the drama. Like siblings bickering, it's all arbitrary. Ready to get out there and break some trucks again and be merry. Respect to all!

    @YotaGurlIAm Madison, I would take that and take a picture of what happened with your truck under the tarp and the picture results of the fix to get you down off of the hill with tha tag in the picture frame. It can always be used as a "conversation piece" for sure when people are over at your guys place and what not! Just my humble opinion, but it definitely would make a good conversation piece for sure!!! Not only that, how coincidental it was for Greg to find it as well!!! :thumbsup::fistbump::cheers::drunk:

    @WileECoyote
    Best we can come up with is the passenger side had a washer and the drivers side didn't. It may have been all the way tight but had just a small amount of play, over time it weakened the bolt and just got unlucky that it sheared off. Better it broke going 5mph rather than anything faster though!
    @ODNAREM :thumbsup: tauntaun rides again!
    @goblue82 Madison will slap it on her spindle! Haha

    Take advantage of spray paint the core support to hide the body with the bumper off

    I think it would be funny to make a full-on overland rig and leave the paint.
