Lower 13 claimed 4 rigs axle snapped, 2 bjsted driveshaft and ?else
Blew a shock, axle seal, smoked a front axle amount, damn near punched a hole in oil pan and transmission pan ,hammered the armor an almost laid it over 2 times.....dented the rear tub even with armor, crushed the door surround and all most broke the rear glass out of door.
Went back and did a night run on it had to strap and tow 2 rigs out....1 busted 1 unprepared and that was on upper 13 not the really nasty section.....we got back to camp just now 2:30am....
LOVE THIS TRAIL. A lot more mellow than last year but still solid.....

Shit Travis, maybe it was a good thing I was laid up in bed!
Sounds like another crazy trip, I definitely wont miss the next one. I still need to get down there to put on and wire up my L.E.D.S

I know you have installed a few artec truss and gussets. Have you had any problem with the coils rubbing / sitting on the gussets? Mine are just barely touching. Might have to get the grinder out.

It is perfectly fine for the coils to touch/ rub the gussets as long as they're not sitting on them and bowing the coils.
