I'm guessing what I saw was either the shock or driveshaft. But when I saw you hit, I cringed.Great run......but not without some damage...hahaha
- lady that owns the Outpost dragged side of her car along the back of my jerry can holder. she waited outside for a bit until I came out after eating to tell me what happened and to offer to pay for everything. All I saw was a bunch of white paint where the steel side rail of jerry can holder dragged down her vehicle. She was quite upset and thought I was mad...told her I saw no damage and not to worry as it will get beat up one day on trail anyhow and I can just beat it straight if needed. LOL
- hit passenger side forward lower control mount again...those things always take a beating...might have to look into some armor for it and the lower shock mount like I had on my FJC.
- bessinger says I hit my rear diff but cant find any marks....but I did scrunch my muffler.....and the skid under my fuel tank..............and my driveshaft. Did not see the drive shaft marks when I crawled underneath last night...just the others. Today when I got up to 50mph through about 58mph it vibrates like hell. Figured either that was muffler booming against body....or something else...so pulled over at AutoZone in Biscoe...and saw the drag mark on drive shaft. LOL.....guess it was just enough to make it unbalanced....but I found that driving under 50mp or over 60mph made it almost go away until I hit 75mph then it comes back again but not as loud. Guess I will be pricing a Lexus drive shaft, Fleet Pride, or Woods....or see if it is small enough damage to get rebalanced. Anyhow...will be doing that soon too bad I am going out of town Tuesday through THursday...but will order what I need tomorrow. LOL
Texted Glenn but no response...he must be screening his calls and text messages from me. LOL
Otherwise...the LX did fabulous....DickieBell was all gnarly...everyone was having a little issue from 80 to chopped 4Runner crawler to Geo Tracker jacked up on 35s.........of course I walked pretty much up the middle with no spotter or help. THen feeling cocky went over a rock (big rock) outcropping that everyone else was going around.....and hence my slight damage. LOL
Now to price drive shaft replacement if cant be rebalanced.... and maybe also a new cat back exhaust...I see Doug Thorley just released one as did EMS Exhausts...for $450-550 for either.
Cant wait until December...an hope more members can join us. Great to see everyone and that BBQBoy and Excessive made the trip up and had no issues on the trails.
I felt like I hardly saw you. i definitely didn't see you on the trails and you were hanging out with the loud crowd at night. LOL!!!
