Full throttle taking a break from work. I was walking while I was driving and I didn't take into account that my view in relation to where I have successfully cleared the steel pole was not factored into the equasion. CLANG. FLIP. PIECES. JAW DROPPED! GRIN! COOL BEANS! "Tell me, someone took a picture of that?" "No pic, uncool beans."

I replaced both front A-Arms with RPM Arms. Replaced the both drive lines with stainless. Replaced the front bulkheads with alum and the shock mounts with alum too.
 
I aleay sthough if they would put poles and curbs and stuff like that out of the way like away from the road mabey in the floer garden no one would ever hit that crap.X
 
El Pirata...you are beginning to worry me...there wasn't enough damage...:D

You'd better be ready to run on Sunday...I ain't driving out to BFE for nothing, again...

Don't worry. Everything is fixed better than new right now, actually $250 better.

Exactly. I think after I finish upgrading this one I'll build a titanium t-maxx to take the severe punishment that I can dish out. That one will have more than the average person puts into their car when I am finished with it.
