Been slacking on the forums lately, but what started as a bad time 0CD4B2AB-EB15-415B-B521-B81C6B4D77F5.jpeg

Lead to even worse findings and back halfing the truck. Still a work in progress and the whole story in my new member/ build thread?

Can I get it done by my bDay in 3 weeks? Probably not. Labor Day a few weeks later? Still probably not. Someone motivate me please!!!!!!!
 
from back JUN 2014

Well that was fun right !?

Went to dinner at Splash. Came back and organized a night run as I wanted to get a little night driving in before I cracked a sport soda.

Boy did we have some fun in store for us.

For those of you that missed it in my build thread.

Buckle up

Jack And I sent a razor back about 45 ft to front bumper... I was following my buddy lutz in his baja bug. Saw him go over this "roller" or so i thought. We hit it probably somewhere between 15 to 20ish mph. Other than a few small cuts and sore bodies we both walked away unscathed.

This is from the top of the lip

The fix that let me drive myself out of the dunes and all the way back to camp...

But first we needed more fail. Tucker ended up nearly getting The Destroyer stuck in a bowl managed to get out after rocking it back and forth 5 or 6 times and wasting his bumper on a sharp edge of the bowl. He can chime in with a better photo of the damage. it was pretty bad but just cosmetic.

Can’t figure out how to insert photos (I think)





Lawn darted my truck in super November 2020. Learned a lot about driving this day lol. Drove it 80mph the whole 100 miles home. A funny memory and I got a new sled for the snow (my skid baha)

 
Oops. I guess it wasn’t meant to do 4wd donuts

The most anticlimactic bad line ever, tried to drop in a wash to my right and the left bank failed. And there I sat until we could gather up another truck to drag me out. Shortly after getting pulled out I tried to straddle another washout down the trail, once again the bank slid away and dropped the truck on its side. Luckily no damage was done other than a broken mirror and a wadded up tailpipe. Many trail beers were consumed that night already so we decided to call it and go home after that 😂

Never heard it before but “whipping shitties” 100% sounds like it comes from Minnesota or Canada 😂
