the truck handled all that without incident- the impact of the rock went to the front skidplate, I think; maybe the floorpan or something, but no dmg-I dropped it off at the stealership to get checked out (for fear I really DID bend something) today n all is well.(bitabur @ Dec. 07 2006,05:43) From my previous experiences, I *know* jeeps are built to take that kind of stuff... I'm not so sure about durangos. They probably share a lot from the mopar parts bin though.
If you hit the frame rail that hard on a rock I'm surprised you didn't put some kind of disfigurement into it. Looks like fun though.
now Im looking to upgrade the trucks' suspension a bit for this type of fun-leaf springs r old n bad, gotta replace them anyway. so any tips on good shocks/struts to go with'em and a 4-6" lift?
I wanna build a nice lil Tonka truck
