I only added a small scrape to the driver's side door on that one after teetering between the front left and right rear. <img border="0" alt="[Ignore]" title="" src="graemlins/ignore.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Fortunately, it didn't dent it. Then I backed out of that one and took the bypass. That was the obstacle that took out the Dodge's u-joint. I only drove a few obstacles past that. I stood there for like 5 minutes trying to figure out a line that would work in that wedgie section near the start. I remember others saying you have to get way tippy, but I'm still not sure that I have enough front wheel travel to make it work.

Body Damage is Cool
I'd love to cruise Moab with all of the gang. I think I'd rather ride along in one of the 3rd gen rock sleds on Pritchet Canyon and Rocker Knocker though. My old junk is just not up to that kind of task.

Judging from the video I saw, I think weight was the main reason Jeff broke. It sounded like a wreck at the Indy 500... Lots of tire skid noise followed by a crunch.

Hats off to Jeff for fearlessly testing the limits of IFS. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />
