Carnage Creek Boulder

So for those of you that know I just got done with a major overhaul on my truck and I just got out today to wheel it for the first time since! It works freaking awesome and couldn't be happier. The only carnage for me was a little bit of body and a broken shock mount due to shocks that are too short. As for my buddy, well you'll see I thought I would share a few pics.

Apparently I’m changing songs on the cd playa

Center-line




Freaking kingpin d60! That sucked!

Big thax to Dave at phat jeeps for letting us barrow a knuckle to get Justin's junk off the trail.

Looks like your friend should invest in some CRANE HIGH CLEARENCE knuckles.

Made right here in Longmont.

just a note for you malphrus, my freaking drag link rubs my spring the way it is set up at full droop, however my springs rake way back, I don't think it is a problem but I'll have to keep an eye on it and make sure there are no bad things happening up there.
