Damn Chad... it was going to happen some time. Time for the sawzall!
As for the rub rail bending I am not surprised on that obstacle. I tried it back when it was covered in snow and ice. It is a full throttle assault just to get past the first rock (couldn't even get past the first rock). I am pretty sure knowing Chad he had the rev limiter bouncing trying to get up that last part. Having a 6,000 lb truck land on those rocks, pretty much was the kiss of death.
It is far different when you are slowly crawling over rocks as Mark and I did at Katemcy. We thoroughly hammered our sliders on his 80 series have some serious deep scoring in the tubing. In the case of Chad this was sheer momentum. If you look at rock crawling buggies you will find that the DOM tubing is bent to hell and back from slamming into the rocks. And those suckers weigh in the area of 2,500 lbs. Everything has a breaking point.
BTW Chad you should of tired going down it for some extra pucker factor
