Yea it had a single bar slider but I need some wider ones. Probably would have helped some but not sure if it would have completely.

I took some good before and after pictures of the runner when we were out wheeling this past Sunday. As everyone can see from prior postings, the passenger side is now a bit challenged. It was all in good fun, I'm sure an exo-cage or other forms of protection would have prevented the damage but that's no fun. Probably gonna just pound out what I can to make it functional but I am sure this won't be the last big dent if I keep trying new obstacles.

This was a "BEFORE" picture taken just after Upper Ajax trail:


This was "AFTER" the slip on the Firehole at Woodpecker trail:


This is the angry Saguaro cactus that was laughing at me near the end of Woodpecker trail:

Started to pound out some of the dents with a little help from 3linked84. The door will now open again from the outside.

It looks almost new again:


I am now ready for my second attempt at the Firehole!!! I may improve the sliders a bit before trying it again but we will see.

Well I have to agree it's a sweet rig with some battle wounds. I hope my 86 4runner turns out as nice. Also how hard was the axle mods for a newbie?

Thanks, axle housing mods were not bad with a little direction and the right tools.

Be sure to pre-treat, or you'll never get those brown stains out of your seat!

That crazy old man with the camera is hilarious!!!

Nice videos!

Yep. I'd say you agreed to it Travis. Better beef up those sliders!
