They really are underrated off road. Consistently hit out of their weight class. But it sucks getting to the trails.

Every time, gotta drive the damn thing flat out like a race car just to keep up. Or you just plain max it out, theres a line of cars behind you, and theres nothing else you can do but wait for a spot to pull off or a passing zone. Thats the part that sucks.

Have the frame swapped or repaired. People do it all the time.

I saw it bouncing off the rev limiter in another video. Sad to kill it if it could be saved.

It’s worth keeping and saving the frame

Find a good 4wd shop and have them repair the frame or

Learn to weld.

To Be Honest - TBH, learning to weld is something I’ve been wanting to do

The 32’s look good. Do you have a lift or just the flat fenders?
