Default carnage

More stuff to fix.






I was out wheeling in the snow and was attempting to launch the rig over this mound. I had no idea what was under the snow. It hit with a loud BANG and the front end launched up in the air (just like Sam Patten did in Top Truck Challenge in his brown CJ-7). The bumper came down right on the hard object, which was found to be a concrete curb, and snapped off and went flying. I backed it up and saw that it was now 3wd with a crooked tire. Wish i had it on video

or maybe slow down

There were snow mounds everywhere and this one just happened to be concealing a broken piece of curb.
