Hey Cory...I still laugh when I think of you and I walking up Guardrail before I drove up it planning out our lines and saying we were both going to do it. After the damage I sustained, I understand why you changed your mind. 
I got my window fixed today ($400)! All that's left is to buy a new center cap (might just get a whole new rim seeing as how that front right one got chewed up REAL good. I'm not going to bother fixing the dents and scratches...kinda like them on there.
How's your dad doing with the video? I can't WAIT to see the stuff he shot of me going up and down Guardrail. Especially when I went over those last two boulders that were under my rear tires...could of sworn I was gonna tip over! HAHAHAHA!

Re: Me In Tellico
Nope, not natural. That center link is doing all kinds of funny bending under there.
Have you gotten your truck aligned since the trip? You may have bent an inner tie-rod. You can tell when they adjust the alignment because it will turn in an eliptical motion, not a smooth circle.

Re: Me In Tellico
I'll be getting an alignment on Monday.
I replaced the left half shaft and pitman arm. I also replaced the right tie rod (was not broken or bent, but the inner boot split and was leakin' grease all over the place.
From the video I've seen of me going over the stuff I did, I'm SHOCKED that I didn't bust a whole mess of tie rods. When Fabtech says "heavy duty", they really mean HEAVY DUTY! |

Re: Me In Tellico
I was actually somewhat surprise Hollie got up to Guardrail without a locker, done good. When we ran up to it back in August we left hers further down the trail. Just the trail up to Guardrail is more than most will do.

Re: Me In Tellico
I got my alignment done today before driving back to Naples and everything is great now. Feels really nice on the road, making turns, etc.
I had a GREAT time in Tellico...some VERY challenging trails. I was able to push my H2 to its limit and then push it a bit more. I'm glad to finally know what it's capable of. |

I did get a dent later on but i was playing around with my tilt o meter instead of running my line. Next time we plan a Tellico trip you should come along--its a great time!
