Deee Ta Deeee!!!!
WELP I had a moment last night at about 10:30PM (EDIT!!! It was a tramatic night!).......
I went to talk with one of our vendors, to check out the new shop he is building. Well.....when i left, I decided to take the road less traveled like any good off-roader would do. I did a U-E up on the dirt hill in fnt of the shop and came back down the hill to get to the dirt road. WELP.....I though I hit a rock....cuz I didn’t hear nothing. BUT the truck would not go fwd....so I did what anybody would do......YUP....put it in 4WD! Well I tried to get over what I though was a rock.....and started to climb it until I see the guy that owns the shop come running up to me waving his hands and telling me to STOP!!!!! SO I did.......backed up.....heard a pop, crunch.........got out......only to see my left fnt corner of my fnt bumper pulled out 1.5 FEET! Almost 90*!!! Then I looked to see the Fire Hydrant with tire marks on it.........the only obstruction with in 300 feet or so............
SOOOO anyone that has a lead on a 2nd gen fnt bumper in the MO, OK, TX area............
MAN! I cant even blame it on beer.......I was sober when this happened!
Im just glad it hit the corner....not the middle!

I did that 4 days after putting new nerf bars on my truck. Climbed a rock I knew was there but never saw. Nearly ruined a 4 day old Westin nerf bar, but it saved the rocker panel. Dumb dumb dumb.

I did something similar in my 1500 years ago... Only my bumper was mostly fine, I climbed the rock, and bent my front axle housing, bent the output shaft on the stering gear box. Not good.
