High Rock is a must do, just don't take a full sized truck if you like your paint!

Unfortunately there was no adventuring this weekend so I will give an update on the build side of things. I was able to fix the squeal from the idler pulley this weekend which was caused by the thick dust from High Rock. I also found this lovely dent in the transmission pan while I was under the truck which will be delt with another time. I also have started buying parts for the front end rebuild (bearings, inner and outter tie rods, lower control arms, and CV axles). They haven't been replaced since I bought the truck so I'm thinking preventative maintenance. I also need to flush the transmission and replace the pan as well as the transfer case. A lot of work to be done but its cheaper than buying something new!

Looks like you got lucky by not putting a hole in your pan.
Thanks for taking the time to share your adventures. I really enjoy your thread.

That's a pretty good hit on the pan, stock or HD?
