2 idler arms, 1 rip in a tailgate (trail carnage), 1 tire re-install/balance (we had to remove the weights in order to use the air tank to force it back on the wheel), 1 CV or T-Case issue (I don't think Paul hase taken the time to figure out what the real issue is), 1 electrical ground cleaning/tightening (easy fix just had to find the ground causing the issue), 1 iPod cable and 1 broken heart (MP) when Kid couldn't make it.

The idler arms were a given. I feel like they're a week point in the ifs we run. If your approach angle is as sharp like some of the lines you guys took, it'll throw your idler arm totally loose. Happened to me, but thats why I get lifetime warranty suspension parts :biggrin2:

Yeah it sucked cause I had just replaced mine. It had literally been on the truck for 5 days when it snapped halfway through Hell's Revenge. That then led to us trying to night NAV out with f@#king drop offs on either side of a barely marked trail. Al and I pretty much walked the entire trail with flashlights trying to light where MP and Paul needed to put their tires to not turn a semi crappy situation into a rolled rig or worse.

At one point we had 3 smart phone compasses, a TOPO map up on my macbook, a handheld GPS, our trail guide books and my magnetic compass from my emergency kit trying to figure out the best way back to a paved road. Funny but you could not get all of them to agree with what we were seeing. It was fun as $hit (got to love those situations where you just don't know how it's gonna turn out) but at one point I was happy to know I had a compartment full of granola bars, water and canned peaches on my back cause I thought I was gonna get to experience a sunrise out on Hell's Revenge.

Let me know what parts and I will throw them up on youtube when I get a chance. It will have to be without sound cause there is no way I can go and cut out all the crap I wouldn't want my wife or my employer to hear. :banana:
 
FOG did you take any pics of your tailgate? If so throw them up. I'd like to add it to the video.

EDIT: Never mind I found it on one of your old posts.
