Carnage round up
One sliced tire - replaced by Discount Tire El Paso for $40.
Two bent shackle bolts. I bought greasable shackles before Claudia had one of hers break, and have been nervous about them since. I have a set of solid bolt shackles (and a bunch of other stuff) on the way from Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters.
Both running boards damaged - the driver side was only held at the rear by an inch of metal - the rest was completely rusted out.
The exhaust pipe rusted out at the connection to the exhaust manifold and blew out the gasket. Fumes were terrible on the ride home. I'm changing out the manifold gasket as well and re-routing my entire exhaust system.
The passenger side Warn hub got the outer ring crunched and I almost had to take it apart to unlock it Sunday morning before I came home.
Kurt is sending a new set of Aisin hubs that should work better than these ^%*(%$ Warns!
And of course my front bumper modification.
All in all a good trip for a 44 year old cruiser!
