You got a full story for us? Seems to me that your skidmarks start on the other side of the road.

I was passing. Creepy old Indian man turned into me as I came even with his rear bumper. He hit the front corner of my truck and right steer tire. That bent the tie rod a bunch, like toe out 12" (the tie rod is behind the axle). Creepy old Indian man doesn't have a car anymore, but he does have his life still.

Man that's beautiful!

It was a gorgeous day in the central Ut mountains yesterday!

Made me feel soooo grateful for a long list of things; open roads through our amazing public lands, , the forests, the mountains, the amazing vehicles we have to modify and roam in, mud tires, trail snacks, my wonderful wife who loves to drive her Jeep, and most of all the good friends that invited us to go explore some new areas! Very grateful for all this and much more!

Excuse my cheesiness; here's a random pic to make up for it:

Do they put skis on the front? do they just want to sink all the time?

I've even been able to sink the SXS but of course it's pretty light and easy to get unstuck and I don't have any proof.

Skis on the front. It does well on relatively hard snow, but not powder or soft snow. A large blizzard had dumped a couple feet of snow about a week earlier and the large drifts were the real challenge. We spent about 48 hours doing what was originally planned to take 8.
And then got hit with another blizzard (70+ mph winds, several feet of new snow, temps -15 to -35) while in our tents on the tundra.
Memorable week!

That truck towed away the car that hit me. Here's my tie rod.

I thought it was a tire truck behind you, but man, that is scary! Glad you're ok!

This bike I just picked up from my cousin.
He had a rock roll out in front of him in the canyon. He rode this out skillz
Three people told me I could get this repaired... I bought a new wheel.

I imagine that bent the front forks under a little as well?

Not that I can see. They seem to cycle smoothly and the fork seals don't even leak.

It even looks like the front tire is okay and just lost air when the bead bent. But I'm not taking any chances and ordered a new tire anyway.

Found this old one. I think this was ~2004ish? Driving down rockpile.

Aug of 2005. Anybody remember this in the red narrows of spanish fork canyon? This happened when Amy and I were on our way back from our honeymoon. They stopped us on I70 as we were exiting to Hwy 6 to head north.

I remember that

I totally remember. They had just loaded at the Trojan Explosives plant.

I totally remember. They had just loaded at the Trojan Explosives plant.

Didn’t the plant close down shortly after this?

 

[RustEoldtrux]

I was about 20 miles from that on my way to Mount Pleasant.

 

[Hickey]

I was delivering in Price and my next stop was Ephraim. That was my first time pulling a 48'+35' trailers over Huntington/Fairview canyon.

 

[cruiseroutfit]

Yes. But I think that had more to do with their group water pollution than it did the explosion. There was some controversy on the trailer explosion, bad loading vs. speed.

Racking my brain to figure out what’s at that elevation and would serve that purpose… only one guess comes to mind.
