Well it was am interesting day that's for sure. Broken ball joints, axle shaft, and passengers side leaf spring. Had to slide it off the hill on a log then chicken wire the ball joints back together to make it out.

Got my phone to come on long enough to get a couple of pics out of it. Here's a close up of the popped bead and what it looked like 5 minutes later. Notice the wheel is a bit black because it was on fire for a minute.

I sure missed out, I was completely engulfed demolition of our master bath, now I need to put it all back better then new.
Did you hit the mountain Dave? How did she do? (The XJ, I doubt Jennifer went with you!)
I'm ready to go wheel my F150 when I wrap up this project, and before I start the next bathroom.

I wheeled to the top of the mountain (PB hole) then back down the lease side. I desperately need bumpstops or cut fenders. I got on the RTI ramp and honestly made some bigger rigs look bad..so im starting to dig the narrow tires. I think my long term goals are going to be to maybe go up 1 more inch tops and go with some 315s (35s), and cut fenders of course. Here is me on the RTI... Poor quality from a buds cell phone but...

A little fender trimming, some rear shackle relocators, and you'll be in business. I like tall skinnies myself, for many reasons.

I think 315s (35s) would be perfect with trimming and some extra bumstops. I had to pop my flare back on before I went to work this morning. It was just half on.
