Thought I would document before something amazing replaces this damage...

Not sure how I hit something this high but it did its job.

That's all the damage I occurred in Ouray!

No new updates since Ouray....

Slee should test their bumper on Hells Revenge and Fins n Things to see if needs any tweaks. I am very sure it will handle all the abuse. But testing cannot be replicated in shop.

Best place to test front bumper is Black Bear Pass waterfall climb and Imogene Pass creek middle crossing.

Agreed! I wouldn't buy it unless properly put through some abuse.

Moral of the story is Tundra tow hook is not an upgrade.

They did take it to cruise Moab earlier this year for testing.

Seems like a common area to scrape up.

specs on the wheel setup. Volks? Backspacing?

Are they really an offset of +0????

Can you show photos of the front...with wheels turned? I would think they'd be rubbing BADLY unless very small, or stock 31"?

The tires would rub at full lock. I had to trim away some of the plastic fender liner in front and behind the wheel as well as a little bit of the front edge of my running boards. There was a thin metal bracket exposed after trimming the running boards that still rubbed so I had to knock that out of the way with a rubber mallet. The tires are equivalent to 33's.

Thanks. A few more Qs... When full stuffed in the rear, do they clear your fender well in back? It looks like you added fender-flares...but did you actually have to remove material inside? -or are those flares more cosmetic? Lastly, do you have trouble with rock-throwing behind you? (Do they stick out that far?) Would love to see a straight-on photo from front/rear. Very curious. Nice looking wheels, by the way. Thanks for info. Never seen anyone run +0.

No problem. Happy to answer questions. The flares are strictly cosmetic. I didn't need to trim away any metal. I didn't mind the look of my tires sticking out past the body but these small flares flush up perfectly with the edge of the tire. The rear tire can still tuck into the rear fender well without any rubbing.

With flare.
This photo was taken when I was test fitting the flares. That's why it isn't completely attached to the body towards the bottom.

Without flare

Stuffed wheel.
The truck was only making contact on the rock with only the front left and right rear wheels.

Wow. I think it's the first time I've seen Volks on a SUV. Well, at least you know they'll be plenty strong! How are you liking the LX offroad? I'm still torn between the LC vs LX.

Picked up a few scrapes on OEM rear bumper. Guess it wasn't just the mud flap I heard after all. At least the driver's side matches the passenger side now

No damage to the muffler...you're still good!!

 

[kevinfoutch]

And..... the front as well.

 

[Canyonero]

Ouch @kevinfoutch! The snow gives a false sense of calm, seems to me. I don't think I would notice new scrapes on my armor at this point.
