Ric, no "carnage" pics?
did jon make it home okay?
That death wobble was pretty bad.
Jon, were you able to get it fixed?
Great wheeling with you all, was a ton of fun, always is.

Issac,
wasnt sure sure about posting them, wanted your ok fist, well since ya said something about it will, lol.
yes, Jon made it ok, we stoped and had the front tires re balanced, but it did still wobble abit, he thinks its the steering stabilizer, so he is going to take of it tomorrow.

Rocket, when are you coming out to wheel with us again? I haven't seen you in ages.
My ding was a result of poor driving, poor tire placement, and ignoring the effect of ice on traction...i was looking into durabak for a paint choice before, now i just have a bit more incentive.
Glad that jon made it home. I was worried about that, with all the city driving he had ahead of him. Glad that Troy was there, his advice seemed to work well.
Here's a closer shot of the damage, as well as my beat passenger slider.
Dents
Slider bent
Slider broken.

Shaweet guys, look like you had a great time. I really wish I had been there... but the funeral was fine. So the solid axle has death wobble huh? Go figure... that is so classic. (Mine still has death wobble too) So did you guys do those other trails after running carnage?

Rocket - AllPhase in Longmont did both. The "exo" ties the bumper and sliders together and does a FANTASTIC job of proteecting the rear (expensive) glass. The front bumper is airtight and has fittings to use as an airtank. It is done for a long time. Next mod will be a crawler.
Jon - a steering stabilizer is just a bandaid on the real problem. Be sure to get the alignment checked with particular attention to the caster angle. I would recommend taking it to a TRUE alignment shop - somewhere that alignment is primarily what they do - not a tire place that happens to have an alignment rack.
My pix are at http://4wheelingoh.shutterfly.com/action/
Here's a few:
Mall wheeler Ric:
Jon getting some flex out of the SFA:
about to take his skirt off and do a REAL line:
This Bronco joined up with us. He was having troubles with the front locker all day, had to use the winch here:
AxleIke tried a line I've never really considered:
and got VERY stuck
Not to say I didn't need my share of recovery on the slab:
Everyone posed on "Because it's there" Rock:
(Ric - post up the pic of me on the rock! Wondering how far over it was, felt seriously about to roll!)
