Decided to go on a trail ride today with sawyer, thought it would be a fun father/son trip, especially with everything life is throwing at me at the moment. We had a good bit of fun (even though sawyer got bored at times) and the truck actually faired pretty well. There was a pretty good rainstorm that rolled through yesterday, so there was plenty of muddy clay and water crossings to deal with. Also got to visit a little cave not too far off of the trail, which ended up being sawyers favorite part of the trip. I didn’t get very many pics since it was my first time out and the trails ended up being a little more technical than I expected. Here’s the few pics I have along with the few battle wounds I picked up along the way.
Lined up and ready to go

Lunch break
And the carnage.... Bottomed out a couple of places, tweaking the bumper and shoving the pass side step back. Driver side CV decided to give out along the first leg as well.
Despite the bit of carnage, I felt like it was a successful trip. Short of fighting a long wheel base, the truck performed really well. With some of the body issues I’m having (rust and clear pops) and a fun trail trip, I’m thinking hard about moving that direction with any future mods.
