So far my damage tally is a crushed left-rear bumper corner, crushed muffler, and a front alignment so far out that my steering wheel is no longer straight and I can actually see the wheels toed out.

Still had a blast though!

Yeah, I tried to drive up something I probably shouldn't have tried to drive up, and did this:

Thats not so bad...Ive done worse to the 80's exhaust system at HF..As for the alignment buy a "lifetime alignment package" somewhere. Youll be using it after nearly trip if you drive your truck as intended.

I tried to take it to Firestone after we installed the Icon suspension, and they said they wouldn't do it because it was lifted, had bigger tires, and aftermarket UCAs.

Well, I took it to *one* Firestone location. I'm gonna try a few more, because currently my only alternative is 4 Wheel Parts, and they can't do it until the 28th.
 
Ive had a decent experience with National Tire & Battery in the Forum. They checked the alignment on my truck with no problems and were pretty cool to chat with in the process.

Dealer Alternative may be another one to try but not sure if they do alignment packages like the chain stores.
 
That was some fun mud driving. Enjoyed getting together with everyone. I'll be rinsing mud off my truck for the next month.
 
I hit the pay and spray sunday afternoon after we unloaded. And went thru the brushes yesterday. till have mud in the ARB bumper and stuck in the fenders and crevasses. it will take a drive in a good rainstorm to get it all out..Still worth it.
 
I spent over 2hrs. and over $30 at the spray wash trying to get the mud off. I say trying because it's still horribly muddy along with the trailer, it was just way, way too much.

Yeah, something about the consistency of the mud made it more like concrete.

In other news, I've got a video rendering right now of my GoPro footage from early in the day. Had I known that the battery would only last 2 hours, I would have saved some for later. Once it's uploaded to Youtube, I'll get a link in here.
 
Here's the video from the first part of the day. If you click on the Youtube logo, it will open it up in the actual Youtube site where 1080 quality is an option. Warning: I'm a sucker for indie music.

 
Nice vid. Adding a Go Pro to my already long shopping list.
 
Pretty cool video! Thanks for uploading that. It looks like you guys had a good time. I'm hoping I'll be able to take my 40 the next time you all go.
 
Of course in the rain, maybe Kelly could hook me up with one of those bikinis she is hoarding haha... Kelly!
