Yes, after experiancing this at Flat Nasty. Oleg (Club member, body shop exterordinair) was happy to see me
He did a great job as always. He is one of those of everything kind of guys. Body work. He installed my supercharger and made Rachel's rear bumper for her 4runner. He is now a vendor here (IRBIS Off Road)
Pic shows my new meats (Toyo 315's) to give me better traction to avoid the TREEs
Just thought I would post up the happy ending 
Note: I have to take it back Tuesday to get waxed and buffed

Yeah, everyone thought they married. After all, we were in Missouri 
It's cool that siblings get along so well.

Why did I decide to join this forum again? And by the way, it's west Virginia, not Missouri. Everybody knows that. If any of you are in the area again let me know and I'll meet you down at the park.

Oh you guys are so funny. We have trees in Colorado, but the trails have been "groomed" so that the trees are not the big obstacle all the time.

I much rather go to places with easier trails like Colorado or Moab. I went to CO and UT during the IH8TREES event. Much less likely to damage your vehicle.
On a more serious note, sorry to see the damage. I have managed to get more tree damage than rock damage on my vehicles.

I don't ski. I am a Colorado Native. Have done it, just doesn't do anything for me.
I did do one black trail (only 80 that did one- result was damage in pics) and two yellow trails. I preferred the Yellow trails over the green trails. More of a real wheeling challenge.
Are you done amazing yourself with your humor

Hope ya have better luck than I did sir ... it kicked my ass. I gave 'er hell and couldn't even get my FRONT tires up on the ledge. Destroyed the lil' fender on my HoleShot fiberglass hood to boot on the rock on the right-hand side. Gives a fella an idea of how big that ledge is since my fenders 'bout 8" above my 42's. 
Nick shot some cool video of my futile efforts though ... my Junk sounds good at 6500 rpm. 
Great event ... look forward to drinkin' more beer in the meadow next year.
