As for the body damage..... Two new taillights and about an hour or two with some tools and I should have most of it fixed.... That's what I get for not looking behind me, and assuming that the tree wouldn't try to jump in front of my truck to protect his friends...

Total carnage for the trail. One favorite t-shirt, two taillight lenses, several new scars from the downed tree we trimmed... a rear quarter panel dent, Jack's pinion bearing.... and a memory of some unknown guy screaming when his quad landed on him and knocked all his wind out.

Overall a great day on the trail. All except for the fact that Ramchargers are FAT and Jeeps/Yota's are SKINNY..

I don't feel too bad about the truck's performance, considering it's basically stock with a trash lok rear and a power-lok front, with Junk yard front springs and add a leaf rears with the overloads removed. We may just have to keep the nickname "The white Whale" now that we've proven it's WIDE! especially if we keep going places where the trees conspire against fat kids
Yeah, I was referring to your rig as Moby Dick 1 and mine as Moby Dick 2 on that trail.

I was impressed that you both got through as well as you did. I managed to touch the roll cage in one spot, the sharp right with the big hole.

Im glad that Im not the only one who thought that the trail rating is a little too shallow.
Sounds like a fun day all in all!
Glad that everyone made it out okay and VIRTUALLY unscathed!

Who wants to go again?
I need some payback!
