I went back to the Dirty Turtle a few weeks ago. Went solo which was an interesting experience. It was the same weekend as the Zoe benefit in Shade so the place was dead. Ended up almost destroying my rear fender and rear brake line and I also punctured my sidewalk. I'm not bummed about the tire though. One more to go and I Have to get new tires.
On a good note I was able to fix my death wobble. It took replacing the track bar, drag link, tie rod, ball joints upper C's and fixing the ovaled axe mount. Most of which was covered under warranty. I just upgraded the track bars and UCA's. I'm probably going to upgrade the ball joints in December or January but I needed to get them fixed so the stock ones will do for now.

I've done some light wheeling here or there, I'd like to hit slade up again but don't know if I'm going to be able to before I start hacking. I'm going to put 12 or 14 inch coilovers and air bumps on the front with 3-4 inches of uptravel then be able to adjust from there, a cage, front axle C brace, and baja style tire carrier this winter. Maybe regear it if I've got the time and patience. I was going to do coilovers in the rear but the tire situation busted that bubble.
I'm glad all that was covered under warranty! If u beat ur fenders up
I have my stock ones laying around that are 2 inches or so wide if u need a set. What tires are you running?

The fenders still ok. Thanks though. It just has white streaked in it from being smashed. I'm still running stock sra's. I'm probably going to get some km2's when these wear out. Or I pop another one.

Try taking a heating gun to it, I know u can do that when the black fenders fade to gray to get the color back. Glad to see I'm not the only one with the sidewall slashing bug
