It was a very odd condition, upon a hard landing the box made an audible "pop" and then when turning left his radius was about doubled. We measured lock to lock by comparing the distance between the front edge of the tires and the frame rail, and he lost about 1/4 of his acuity when turning left. On the freeway coming home he said it felt like between 1/4 turn left and 3/4 turn left there was just nothing there.
Hmm. I'll let him know he obviously didn't maintain it right, otherwise it never would have broken. :lol:
At any rate, my rover made the trail fine w/o a lift or any other mods. Suffered some body dmg, but I kind of expected it.
Here's some other pics.

This is how the trail starts out
This was fun

Here's the worst of the body damge, the crushed panel is lack of clearance, the rest was sliding sideways into a couple of trees when turning off camber.
All in all, it was a real blast. I just wish we had stopped for some more pictures.
