    Aw man that sux, don't know if you remember this but the same shit happened to me...truck was on jack stands for 6 weeks when we linked it and put the Solo kit on the front...take it off the jack stands and drive it to the alignment shop...got 1/4 mile from the alignment shop and a speeding meth head ran a light and side swiped me - took out my fender, bumper, steering rack, wheel and inner TR...Solo kit survived thankfully. So straight from jacknstands with a fresh build onto a tow truck and to the body shop for two weeks :/ ...pretty sure someone kicked a puppy and gave God my ID card when they got caught

    106 pages is just to many pages to dig through right now, I originally came here to see what bedrack you're using. I dig it and it's what i'll get when I get my RRT, the height of it is just right. Then I saw that you replaced your rack n pinion with an after market unit. What page is that on so I can check it out?

    Nice, me too. Truck looks even better in person. Is it bad that I confirmed it was yours by looking for the passenger-side dents??? :anonymous:

    I'll have to check, the shop just changed the weight.


    Old photo from Yosemite right after the Grand Canyon trip. Got some snow overnight.

    Did a quick day trip to check out Apex in Las Vegas.

    Needless to say the truck is got mud in all parts again, and knocked my alignment off. Again.

    Alex, You have TC cam tab gussets? Are they not holding your alignment cams?

    I'm in the same boat as you on the mud. My wife did that to our rig recently. Spent hours cleaning and still have more to do. :(

    Well. Most scratches just rub out.

    Just got my alignment done today and one of the tabs was almost broke off. May not have been welded good enough at the time. But the cams still have room to shift between the tabs.

    This all looks awesome! Do you have any of the route documented somewhere that you could share? I'm moving out to Colorado in April and will be spending a couple weeks in the truck between Southern California and Denver. I'd love to hit some of these trails while we're out in that area.
