Where are your top's back sides?  They appear to be rolled up on the top.  How do you do that?

I got a ton of pics from this weekend, I just need to go through them and upload the best ones...

The coil spacers held up fine, but I think I blew a wheel bearing. I still have to inspect it close to see what all damage I might have done, but at least it's still in one piece!

Keith, it's pretty easy to "safari-top" like that. Unzip the back window and roll it to the outside so it can tuck between the spare tire and the top of the tailgate. Then unhook/unvelcro the sides and roll them under until it's up to the top. Then I just wrap the "tail" that sticks out the back around the rear hoop and strap it down with small straps(I use MTB toe-clip straps, they are like mini cam-lock straps). For the woods this is plenty, but for the hiway you want to strap the rear hoop down tight to the seatbelt towers to keep tension...

Doesn't look it from the pictures, but he did get all four tires off the ground too. It was pretty awesome. Yet another advantage of the track/kick, you can use the quad jumps at paragon.  :)

Damage Report is in!

From what I can tell right now without disassembly, I blew a cv boot on the right front outer, right front wheel bearing needs replaced and the left strut tower is bent almost an inch up!  :o I don't have any cracks in the tower from what I can see, so I should be able to fix it, but what's the best way to bend it back into place? Or should I just leave it there and add an extra strut mount spacer to take up the height? It's giving my left front tire a camber issue /  \ and causing my left front corner of the Tracker to sag pretty good...

The downside to getting AirBorn.
Ask Mike, I'm sure he knows all about that ;D
