So did the rockzillas make you a better driver?

Well duh. The zillas, limit straps, and alien lasers escalated my already superior driving skills to the next level.

I think it was the lasers that did it!

Probably so. Need to get @Frogtown some so I don't have to go back and pull him out or flip him back over all the time!

Haven't added much lately. I did order one of the CATech rear pull plates to protect the exposed rear diff and it came in today. Had a close call with a rock that I couldn't see backing up on the Coalmont trip. Luckily I heard it smashing the cans in my trash sack thing and stopped. I had never paid attention to how exposed the rear diff is until then:
The CATech pull plate is beefy as hell and protects that exposed area. It's made to work with the factory Honda rear bumper as well. Was telling @Plumber32 about it and he ordered up the black one for his X4. I just sat it on top of the factory bolts for the pic:
Not cheap by any means @ $200, but a lot cheaper than replacing a diff case and a ruined ride!

Got it mounted up. Definitely a quality piece that will help prevent the frame holes from wallowing out as well.

Takeover aftermath:
Ripped the drivers side plastic "vent" off Thursday AM in No Business, couple zip-ties and she's good as new:
Broke the rear driver axle and bent the upper link trying to climb the rock ledge on Trail 10 Thursday evening. DTF had one rear Talon axle and saved my weekend:
Friday night, well Saturday morning technically... hit a stump at about 40mph and grenaded the front passenger wheel and folded the lower L&W a-arm backwards. Big shout out to our HFA pit crew that went out of their way to get us rolling again to get back to camp at 6:15AM: @Frogtown @Ohio4x4 @Lisa86 @Plumber32 @Cyberjunk @TripleB and some others I'm forgetting I'm sure
The @SuperATV Frame Stiffener 100% saved my lower frame tabs. Nothing is bent or tweaked:
Big shout out to System 3 as well. They are warrantying the broken wheel even though it was 100% my fault.

Yeah, guess the gravel roads got bumpy.
@Adam490 If you need another rear axel I could sell you my slightly used rear 2.0 axel that is in really good condition....its kind of special because it lets you know that is still there with every turn as it kind of talks to you!!🤣😂 I think you heard it Saturday night at the TO! Friend discount of course!!!😘

I think you should probably keep that in there. Got to be indestructible if it hasn't blown up yet with the awful sounds it's making

System 3 is an awesome company! New warranty wheel showed up today. Super easy to deal with and took care of me

From the looks of the carnage it seems as though he did that already. 😆
@Adam490, that SATV frame stiffener is good stuff. It saved my lower control arm mounts, same as yours when I crashed at the track last season.

Diode Dynamics had a 4th of July sale so I pulled the trigger on new headlight pods. Got a set of SS3 Pro combo spot/flood for high beams and a set of their driving lights to use for lows.
