A couple updates. A front dif inspection resulted in a small crack in 1 tooth in the front D70 ring gear. The crack looked like it had been there a while and I wonder if it was recent or from way back when I snapped a front axle shaft 2 years ago. Either way, I decided to swap it out. Not pic worthy. Local wheeling and a trip to South Dakota with no issues. Ran Captain Crunch on a wet and rainy day made it quite interesting.
2 posts up is a pic from AOAA on Balderdash last September. Drove it clean. Well not so much last weekend. Driver error resulted in a 1 and 3/4 roll on the rocks but thankfully landed in soft sand. One bar bent over the passenger area and lots of sheet metal damage but nothing as dramatic as @woody 's roll.
And yes, I too was wearing a helmet. No injuries, just rode it out.
You can actually see the bend in the roof tube in the foreground if you look close. Roof panel is pretty fubarred.
