Im perfect still. Never had to adjust the alignment on this truck, even with the perch mod.

Need to update my post-run "we can rebuild it" thread. Trey and Bo nailed it. Had to get home and put it up on the rack to find out - mangled my left front spindle on that last jump. Looking at the pics it's easy to see why. Got truck repaired and re-aligned right away. Don't want to ruin my new Toyos. They usually replace the bearings as a precaution, but there is a 90 day back order on them. So just keeping an ear out for now. Bearings make a lot of noise if they start going out. I'm still amazed at how smooth this truck drove home... other than a slight pull to the left it was good as before. Tough!

With a jump like that, I am still in shock that it didnt do more damage! Reminded me of the red chevy truck jump in silver lake. Except the raptor survived!
