Anyone want to donate a lower valence?
So, I was off roading with some friends last night, and my lower valence got pwnd.
This is the "Puddle" that inflicted the damage. It's about 20-25" deep, and at least 5 truck lengths long. Note the ice...
I went through first because my buddy was too chicken to do it in his Jeep. I showed him how a Yota bomber does it.
That's the ice that pwnd the lower valence. About 1 3/4" thick...
My friend in the Jeep had another friend of ours with him, who is also a Jeep fanatic. After running a decent trail to get to this location, I got compliments all around. Here in PA, there is about an inch of snow with half an inch of solid ice on top of it. I blazed a difficult trail with straight tread tires in a completely stock truck. Needless to say, they were already impressed with the truck, but when I took that "puddle" and showed it who was boss, their jaws went like this: .
And, I got a full retraction of ALL the Toyota bashing I have heard since I bought my truck last spring. They were always telling me how crappy Toy 4x4's were, but I showed them. The best part is I did it completely stock, and my friend's Jeep couldnt make it up there till he lifted it 3 inches and put on 31's. My truck sits about the same height as his Jeep, stock...
But yeah, I am looking for a lower valence if anyone is willing to donate...

I don't often wheel on anything that would endanger that valence, it was sheerly the ice that did that. I would like to replace it, and keep the look, as I think it looks nice. If I had material/shop space/tools, I'd make a custom lower valence, but that isn't gonna happen...

eh, I've never dug the front end into anything but this ice. In my opinion, for what I do as far as offroading, I have more than adequate entrance and departure angles. though, if I wheeled a lot more often, I'd keep it off no questions asked.
