Well Today was bittersweet for me!!!

We started the day nice and early with 4 of us and did a trail called Eagle Rock! I KICKED ASS!!!!! Flew up without an issue made it over all the hard obstacles no hitch, no isssues. Best day ever on this trail for me! We had 2 close to rolls (sorry no pics, was getting ready to jump on hoods) No damage from this trail we all made it!!

Ohhh man that sucks.

I started reading and first thing I noticed was the bars sticking out.

Few Months ago I was out with my buddy that has a Rover like yours and the simular cross bars. Snagged 2 bars on a tree and bent up the gutter pretty good.

Thought I had a picture of the aftermath but I can't fin it. This is about 20 minutes before it happend. Truck has a ARB in the back but the center diff had him stuck on this hill. Kept putting all the power to the open front.

Looks fun! So when I come out that way you going to take me out to that trail?

Nice :) I still like to see beauty marks, shiny, perfect rigs don't do it for me. That rub gives it character :) Nice scenery, where were you?

Man, that sucks bending up the gutter. I finally took the bars off mine after snagging on vines and branches one to many times. I rubbed down the side of a tree last time out to, broke a tail light and scuffed the side of the truck. Made me mad at the time, but now I look at it as beauty marks. Looks like you had fun though, and nobody got hurt. That's the important part.
