I wish someone had video of how these shocks are failing like that. Considering the top and bottom are hard mounted it does not make a lot of sense for a piece of equipment that goes up and down to bend in and break that close to collapsed.

Sucks man. On the upside is that you can cut out that old frame portion that is permanently stained orange!

Shock bottoms out before bumpstop hits, wheel and LCA continue to travel up, something has to give...

Sorry no vid.

Frack me..
I had a very small dent from the rear bumper slamming on a rock. This trip was the least amount of damage I have ever experienced. What a difference wheeling sober makes.


I have yet another video of Todd making Twister look easy. Will post when Bianca gets all the photos uploaded from her camera.

Awesome.


Sidenote, hanging your arm out the door could lead to a bad habit/accident if the truck rolls on ya.

That's Mr Asshole to you
That happened to a guy as we were leaving. Had a buggy and rolled it. Crushed his hand real bad. Someone saw him walking and drove him to the front. EMT got to work on him quick and rushed him off by ambulance. Looked real bad so I hope he is okay.

Yeah Sam, that was scary. :) Enough said.

But cool vid though. Glad you made it out again.
