Default My shack down run for Grayling trip

Well as some of you may know I've been planning a trip to Grayling with Jay (MedicJayCook) and our 2 boys. We leave tomorrow (Tuesday August 18th). Any ways we needed a small shack down run seeing as his rig is freshly lifted and mine just had the front end gone through.

So here's a few pics of that little shack down run/test and the report.













And now the carnage reports. Yess there was carnage.
Me:
Exhaust fell off(seems to happen on every shack down run)

Jay:
Broken front drive shaft (the CV joint)
Front tow point broke off
Grill Guard and bumper pulled off
1 head light/marker light
1 passenger side fender

A few pics of Jay's damage.
