just a lil damage...
EDIT!!!More pictures at bottom for all you picture whores
so me and some buddies did some offroading last week when there was still some snow/ice on the trail. it was pretty warm so we broke thru the ice, but ive run the trail a million times in a bunch of vehicles so i know where its deep and where it isnt...
well finally ive paid the price and gotten a mild but of trail damage
drivers side
passenger side
see anything wrong yet?
made a nice squeaking sound
the result-bye bye sway bar for some time
broke them right off, i know im huge...jk jk
and since i was working on the truck, bye bye mudflaps
also lost the clamp on the outer boot of my drivers side cv joint, you can see it on the top of the thid pic...that will have to be replaced soon too, but i wont be driving in 4wheel for a bit....also rearranged my rear bumper, pics of that will be up soon..
as for driving without the sway, so far it doesnt seem to be too too bad...

yea i know, im kinda concerned now with how far those endlinks stuck out, im thinking they were either stock and not designed well, aftermarket and cheap, or aftermarket and the wrong ones, i really dont think they should stick that far out of the lower A arm...when i replace ill be going either quick disco, or try and find something that doesnt jut out like that

I think that elton should have all of his 3 or less word posts removed from his total post count
Haha, nice work man. Can we get some pictures of your whole truck? How come no pictures of the wheeling. You have to understand that us YotaTechers are picture whores

just a couple of truck pics for kyle
that last one is tiny cuz i resized it to use it for my avatar, but i cant seem to get that to work lol
and as for my house being a mess, were doing two additions, all our stuff is in that trailer that was in the way to redo 4 of the rooms, including the kitchen, and the dumpster has been emptied three times already lol...but now that its warm enough to work outside, time to start putting the hardibacker siding up

one of the pics from offroading, this was right at the beginning of the trail, before my buddys jeep got stuck and it took us 3 hours to get him out
thats my buddy in the truck not me, and yes he is wearing teal pants, we were just snowboarding before that, not that snowboarding makes it ok to wear teal pants

Truck looks like it's in great shape. Better get some sliders on it before it's not!
My end links broke, took off the sway bar and never looked back. It's a 3.0 truck - how fast you really going to be taking corners anyways? LOL

I don't have swaybars either and I can guarantee you my COG is a lot higher.. I don't even notice the roll anymore but I do get some complaints from people saying they feel like it's going to flip and I have to assure them it's not
