It looked like your front end was at least 12' off the ground. I like that picture, - cool.

Sounds like you guys made the best of it and had fun. - That's all that really matters anyway.

WOW, what did it take to bend the frame back? How off were the body lines of the fender gaps to the doors? Crazy

Most of the damage in the front I think actually came before I even left the ground when the nose dug into the hill. the bent damage wasn't actually that noticeable until you look at the left fender panel touching the door. There was and still is a pretty nasty dent where the bed hit the cabin on one side but its not that notable back there so im not going to worry about it for now. In all it only costed around 400 to get it bent back and the left wheel which was tilted a little inward. No paint problems. I expected a lot more but I guess they said truck frames are easier then cars.

Where did you cut the frame at for that skid plate? My fame went through my plastic bumper and it need to cut it, I just don't know where:/

A lot of people i've seen cut it like in the pic at an angle but mine was able to bolt without any cutting directly to the stock bumper mount. How is your frame sticking out? do you have a pic?

I know I've yet to take it out and see how many cops look at me up here in washington where bumpers like this are rare.
