Yeah, kegard, you missed my impressive display of inattentiveness. 20 feet from the end of the trail on completely flat ground I start chit-chatting instead of watching where I'm going and end up dropping my driver-side tires into a wash-out and hanging my rear diff up pretty bad <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Nothing like having to take a strap on terrain with the difficulty of an unpaved parking lot <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I would say you picked a good time to call it a day. That hill that took out you rocker panel didn't hold a candle to the rocker-eater further down the trail that took out Dave and Kasia. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> Glad to help out with the trail body work..... me and my hand sledge are always happy to ablige <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" /> I would suggest washing that rocker panel really well and then hitting it with a can of spray paint ASAP. With all of the road salt around, it won't take 2 days for it to start rusting.

Yal, I know I saw some nice looking rock-sliders on that vehicross info site.... IIRC, swordy had them, or maybe spazz (or both). Might be able to print out one of their pics and take it to a local fab shop for an estimate.

[edit]here's some:
Sliders 1
Sliders 2

Pretty cool, IMHO..... but it would definitely be cheaper to have a more basic set like mine made.
