Old School Rock Crawling '09- Pics and Vids

As the guy who was piloting the “Sky High Comanche” I can say, I will never do that again. It was a hell of a ride.
Parts Broke to date:
Broken and bent front axle- when I cut the upper control arms, the front out the diff fell out and left the long side tube.
Crushed lower control arms, and the factory welds broke on the axle.
Both front shocks bent and crushed
Custom 1” cross over steering harden shaft bent
4 - 5/8 carbon fiber heim joints bent broke or failed
242 transfer case broke in half
Engine mounts broke from block
Front pass. side axle bent by the spines
Front chassis cross member
Bent Steering wheel
Parts savable:
6" Springs
Detroit true track
Short side axle
Hubs
Tires and rims Firestone destination M/T
Front and rear drive shafts
As for myself:
Sore neck
Possibly a broke heel
The ride priceless
My heart broke
But the glory will live on.

Does anyone remember the movie Mr. Majestic with Charles Bronson? There was many jumps like this one in a F150.
 
the rear axle held up just fine for the most part. The front took the most pain. Im thinking about sell the rear arb and compressior, the front tru track, the 4.88's and the rims and tires.
 
I would like to thank everybody who put all the cool pictures and video on this thread. If anybody has some cool shots for next years poster that is about 2 meg or better, I'll try and use them.

I extracted that image from a second genation of the movie file. I would be happy to provide the original movie (it's an AVI ~42Mb for 26 seconds) If someone has a way to pull images that might work for you and/or Craig.
