Hah! Have they expanded on Carnegie yet? I heard they were going to extend it and make it more fun but nothing yet, I'm assuming? Looks like they may have added some more rocks in the pile so far.

Time to see what I did to the front end.

Nice carnage!!  I personally like the scrape on the steering arm and the bent shackle!

Didn't get a lot done, but I have started. :yesnod:

I used a chain to hold my axle up so I could get my tire off the ground with the hi-lift. Lowered it down on to the tire so I could loosen up the nuts on the wheel spacer (still tight as hell) then raised it back up again so I can start on the rest tomorrow evening.

I'm surprised how many places rocks can actually get to; my steering arm, all the way up my driveshaft, every part of my transfer case skidplate, all my shackles, and my 3rd studs.

Luckilly for me both 3rds are leaking, something is broke in the front end, I need 8 new driveshaft bolts, and I need to replace both my front shackles after they bent on the rock pile.

No, they are somebody's aftermarket, not sure who's though.
