The IPOR plate is substantially bigger and heavier and it is a good option for people that are going to be subjecting their truck to that kind of abuse on every trail.

So before we condemn the skid plate lets ask Beno what is bent? The bracket (we have replacements), the skid plate or the cross member?

slee, you know i'm not bashing your products, i own many of them. All i'm saying, and again i appologize for turning this great pic thread to chat so romer please delete this crap if you want......

....is that a skid by protecting the tcase did do it's job, but you shouldn't have to replace it every time you use it. JMHO

Any more info on the Uglibus? That's a sick looking rig.

Not wild but nice flex shots on trail...

My little bigger spotting me thru the granite slabs....

See post 718 for the picture from below. Uglibus took this from above.

Found this pic I took at Tellico, this was probaly my favorite truck there

Very sweet rig!!!

DanKunz · 09-11-07, 08:54 AM

Here are a couple quick ones from Sunday's ride at the Georgia Cruisers Beasley Bash:

informationjunky climbing a slightly steep hill. You can see the trail on the left that is WAAAY down there, and the trees give away how steep it is:

The cado coming off a big hill:

You still on 6" coils?

DanKunz · 09-11-07, 09:07 PM

In that pic, yep. 6" coils and 37s.

I just swapped the 6" to 4" tonight and will be shipping the 6" in the AM to LA.

I like the looks of the 4" MUCH better. 6" heavy Slees were a bit too stiff for my truck.

Nice!

The pucker factor was in effect on those obstacles at Beasley Bash! Those pics, as cool as they are, do no justice for that drop or climb!

Amen. Beasley is notorious for VERY steep climbs with loose dirt and rock all the way. It is absolutely pucker all the way...and if it rains while you are out there you can be in a life threatening situation trying to get off that damn mountain.

My rookie contribution to the thread:

Rowher Trail (Bouquet Canyon) 9/8/07 Gold Coast Cruisers Day Run
1. Pic of Isuzu Trooper (member of the GCC crew) to show steepness of the hill.

2. Same spot as Trooper where I almost flopped.

3. Another hill climb immediately after the close call.

ShottsUZJ100 · 09-12-07, 10:33 AM

Doesn't look like a good place to flop!

DanKunz · 09-12-07, 10:45 AM

No kidding! That looks more like a *flop....bounce....bounce....bounce* type situation.
