I doubt any kind of bracing would help short of an exo-cage that I’m not really ready to undertake. Justin was talking about that and IMHO bracing it to the sheet metal of the roof or the roof rack (attached to the sheet metal roof) would just cause more damage.
I think I need to get the spare and hi-lift off the back of the truck and inside.
Maybe get a bumper that will give me a better departure angle and that can take a hit. My current Shrockworks bumper, although good, is really made for overlanding, blue trails and mall crawling not blacks and reds.
The truth is my back window problems are all a result of the loose nut behind the steering wheel that, at this point, I’m unable to repair...
We just met Bill the morning of the run. He is a local who was there alone. He had asked a group of FJ’s if he could run with them and they said no (assholes).
He asked us and I said “if you sign the waiver you are welcome”.
He’s not on any board or Instagram I know of but I got his number and will ask.
Running trails with him, Ernie and Joe was one of the most challenging, intense, fun, nerve wracking days at Rausch I’ve ever had. I had a headache at the end of the day.
I was behind Bill and his Jeep on the trail. The combination of his expertise and the build of that Jeep was a joy to behold.
I couldn’t follow his lines because he mostly took the harder one, at times I had to let him get ahead a bit so he didn’t f@ck me up.
You know what I mean from leading, you can’t just follow someone’s line, you have to travel your own.
I’ll ask him to join the board if he wants and if he has his build posted somewhere.
I don’t want harass him though
