With the mods since last year- the commando went up and down stuff that was impassible last year.
This was the Friday night before shot..
 |
| Clydes ravine |
This is the last 25' of the rock garden, everything went wrong
when it was thrown onto the drivers front wheel before coming
off the rocks. Made it though...
 |
| This is the after the rock garden shot... slight alignment issue |
 |
| Bent tie rods, bent rim, hurt the warn hub- didn't crack it- but couldn't pull dial off easily, snapped 3 ears off axle shafts , snapped swivel joint and messed up lower ball joint. 1 hit on 1 rock in 1 wrong spot is all it takes. 
This is the story of a trail that fell in with the wrong crowd- it used to be a fun suspension flexer
that everybody could enjoy-by the name of "twister" -then it went bad.
If you can't tell, the door handle is crushed and needs to be replaced. Still works though.
No matter where I put armor, the rock would just jump out and hit somewhere else.
Out of the entire weekend theres this drivers side damage, and a, A SCRATCH on
the rock rail. humph!

This was our next door neighbor- and a fine example
of what the wheeling community does for its friends, and quite a deserving one at that.
DFW TX4X4
helped him with this AWESOME wrap for his jeep, a year ago he had a heart
transplant and was advised to take it easy- fat chance! This little cj5 went out and
mixed it up with the big boys easily!
3-7-13 I ordered chromemoly axle shafts and parts for the front, should be in next week. Should last a little longer if I stay off the skinny pedal..... I'm planning on getting the 1 ton cheby tie rod kit- its supposed to be over the knuckle, and with the scouts steering arms so high now- it'll either never get touched, or crush the frame on the first bump. http://www.broncofix.com/quinn/scoutknuckle.html
------------------------------------
New axle shafts came in- usa standard brand.
The reason I'm not capitalizing usa is that it is
probably not made in the USA. :(
From what I read, usa standard is yukon brand
that didn't go through "a final touch up or finishing procedure".
(polishing, standard control, etc...)
I have read that the same shafts with yukon
will accept CTM joints and these won't.
A: I don't care- got some Spicers.......
B: CTM would cost as much as the shafts
