My bronco is mad at me

I feel so abusive... Yesterday out wheeling and came up on a big rock to play around on. I had been on it before but that was before I put my lock-rite in. So I went for a different angle to try and max out the suspension and this is the result:

As I was coming up over it, my front tire slid a bit and sat the rocker down on the top of the rock. Then when I pulled forward, the rear end slid aound a bit, causing even more damage. It did look good posing up on the rock tho.

Then later on in the day, I was playing around in another little rock garden and as I came off one I felt the rear bumper hit. No big deal I thought, its gonna be a bit tweaked. I was wrong...

So shes mad at me for hurting her. I guess now is the time to get the plate bumpers I want, and some good rock sliders. Cover all that right up ;)

Now that the initial body damage has been done, you can give it hell w/out fear or hurting it now! Time to get serious!

Just kidding. That is a very sweet Bronco, shame to scuff it up! Some rock sliders and plate bumpers will cover it up and make it look even better! Order up and lets see some pics!

No need to cover anything up - with a little cutting and bobbing you won't even have to repair anything! Cut the rockers and bob the fenders. Then add the rock skis and new plate bumpers and your Bronco will thank you! ;D
