That’s why modify the T-case to have 2WD low.
Or roll back into something solid and depress the clutch pedal just before impact. My goal would be 1/8” at a time. 4-5 stops and it’ll be good as new.
I bent mine in by going up a steep, smooth, dry rock face… loosing traction, and then sliding down and having the trailer hitch stop the vehicle movement. It pushed it in about 1/2-3/4 of an inch. That would do it for you… ;)
Strangely enough, a few weeks earlier, it made the climb without any...
