Well I had to pee so every one got a ahead of me.
I was bombing down the trail in 4 hi in 3rd gear when I came around a bend and lost traction.
I started to slide to the right well I turned the wheel and no respose (front locker) so my truck drove up and over a 5ft. root ball causing it to flop on its side.
All is good just sheet metal damage the 22R fired right back up and was good to go for the rest of the day.
Does anyone have a picture of that root ball I drove up?

Yeah, I was looking at that first set of pics that al posted and thought that "root ball" was a rock or pile of something and may have been the culprit! Glad you're ok!!!

I was let off with a warning for having no rear bumper, illegally placed mud flaps, front bumper height violation, no fender flare coverage of front tire and my rear custom wheel well had questionable coverage of the rear tire. I was let off with a warning and was told not to come back to evans unless my rig was on a trailer it is considered by this officer that my yota is a Full trail rig no ifs ands or buts!
