Only cosmeticly. I hit my exhaust pipes into my body which dented it a little bit. Fortuntly I have some touch up paint. So it shouldn't be much of a problem.

I have some pics of when I went to Moab last year. If you go to viewers ride you will see me on poison spider. And no I did not touch there I actually had about 4 inches there. Looks like I touched Nope. Poison spider was actually pretty easy. But the hardest I would go on due to clearace of my stock truck. I have some more pics of me on lions back. Whew that was a thrill. 321 lift off. He he he actually lions back is pretty easy as well. Just hve to get started thats all. If you want to see the lions back pics let me know.

I would love to see the lions back pictures. I ran out of breath hiking up the darn thing. How did you get down just put it into 4low and creep? Or try burning up the brakes?

So our trucks can make posion spider stock? I know what I'm doing next time I go back.

I love 4 low in my truck. It creeps and the compressions keeps ya back. I put it in 4 low and first. I did not need to hit the breaks un til the last little where it is a launch pad. It held me back at 1500 rpms with out breaks. I loved it. The only thing you have to worry about is entry and exit angle. Going up I took some sand with me up the hill but all good. Comeing down I had to do a 3 point turn. I heard Poision Spider is worse now tho. Not sure. The only place I had a little trouble was the wash and water fall part. I had to have a spoter for the water fall and it took me 5 tries. The only place I had to do more than once.

Hey Nick,

How often do you go to Moab? I go about 4 times a year. We do the white rim trail to go camping. We also head over to the other side and do The Maze. We also have a couple of buddies with Unimogs and we go down with them. Those are sweet wheelen machines let me tell you. These dak are very capible machines off road tho. I go at least every other week. They are goats!
