Managed to re-arrange some sheet metal yesterday...
Looks like damage 2.webp

Total damage was a completely flattened drivers rocker panel, crunched quarter panel, both front and rear bumpers mangled. Just barely got away without mangling the front fender. Overall a great day. I finally got my front ARB installed, and got a little over confidant. What did all the damage was a tree stump that I should have tried to go around. I didn't even hear the crushing of the metal, I was too busy trying to drive out of the precarious situation I was in. Let the cutting begin!
 
haha youll have to get some bigger meats then, when i trimmed out my rear it even made my 35s look small..
 
Ah yes, bigger meats. Not this week.

We found a footing buried in the dirt and spent a while digging that out, you can see it just below my hand in the 3rd pic. Thank god we had that otherwise it would have been quite a bit worse. Sacking rocks is fun!
 
Yep... that works now. I will take a closer look after my lunch.
 
Granted its not a cruiser, but here is an example of body armor for you.

Great pics, Mark. The damage ones make me cringe, but then again, thinking about anything bad regarding my 60 makes me cringe.
 
It was only a matter of time really. I was already looing at doing some body protection, now it's just more of a priority. It was fun doing it tho. I just wish I made it up and didn't have to back out. I was bound up pretty tight in there. My buddy in is 40 barely made it through so I didn't feel too bad about it.

After realizing what I did, but before I saw the extent I asked someone how bad it was. Their reply.."it's not too bad" :-)
