Off-road fail!!!

I put together a quick video from my last off-road adventure. I was playing around and didn't see a giant rock in front of me. Did some damage but it's all fixed now. Hope you get a good laugh. Subscribe to the channel I have more videos i plan on making. Also you can follow me on instagram here:https://www.instagram.com

Undercarriage protection - it's cheaper to armor up than to pay for damage. Bent my front propshaft on my first outing because I didn't have undercarriage protection. Later, poked a hole in a transfer case because the protection wasn't designed well enough. But I've avoided dozens of other repairs during that time.

that's going to be my next investment for the truck for sure. I got lucky this time next time might be worse.

Even the ZR2 lacks a full skid plate setup.. disappointing for the cost.

I agree after this accident I am scared to take it off road without putting on skid plates.
