Did I miss it? What was the final verdict as far as the firewall?

All the bending was the booster, the firewall stayed straight.

I got it back yesterday. How I've missed it!

First time driving it with the P rated 285s I put on for the trip. They are noticeably lighter than even the K02s were and make it really zippy. Only been driving in town but my mileage is way up too, I'll be leaving them on a bit until gas prices cool off.

or until the next boulder taunts you!

Glad it's back and fully fixed??? *fingers crossed*

I still need to put my Icon UCAs on when they get in and put the fender liner back in, but otherwise yes it's fixed and drives well. And now I'm thinking I might get Icon shocks up front too.

Because I'm hard headed, tomorrow I'm heading out for a camping trip with more wheeling and will probably break something again. Checking out the Funny Rocks at Naches and the dunes at Moses Lake. Lots of pix to follow I'm sure.

Also splurged on some Icon EXPs for the front to pair with my UCAs.

Douglas Creek was nice, found a sweet swimming hole in the creek, water over my head and under a waterfall.

Not bad eating for a father/son trip.

Had an epic time at Natches.

Finished off the trip at the Moses Lake dunes where over 20 Broncos attended.

Total trip was about 600 miles and close to 200 was off pavement. 13.3 mpg overall, ick.

Oh hello. My "Rubicon" trailer is going to be a Bronco trailer now.

I'm having dangerous ideas. Thinking about getting a set of trail only tires. I'm enamored by these Badak tires. This is the 35" pictured between a 37" SSR Swamper and 36" Irok. The downside is the biggest wheel they fit is a 16". They have a 37" that fits 17" wheels but I'm guessing it's never going to fit with only a 2" lift because it's a true 37".

Went to Stanley Idaho for a 4 day camping trip. Used the hammock for the first time. Not bad for free but could use a rain fly.

Not going to lie, I had a moment where I went from the snake pic to the food pic and said to myself, "Did he eat the snake?"... I got way down into the weeds of my imagination for the rugged-ness of your trip.

Hah.

I guess when I don't have my Bronco yet (August 2020 reservation), I have to live vicariously through you all's pictures and stories... and snake eating is where that takes me.
