In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

Pretty sure Jim wins hardest hit....

He was gone before we got back and could get measurements.

He smoked the left beam bracket enough that it toed out the tires enough to jack in reverse and draw going forward ...

It actually draws the knuckles closer together....and it close to max toe in already on the left side...

Definitely wheels the balls off of ol trs 2.....good and proper.

You can see in this pic where the left front tire rubbed the framerail from impact. The tires have also rubbed both radius arms.

Here you can see where the suspension bracket bent in under the beam. Should be fin trying to straighten.

Crossed threads are tight threads.
How many brought along the pet dog, cat, parrot, iguana, marmot, beta fish etc?

Not me... my hound stayed home. He's not as civilized as he needs to be. I hope to work with him a bit without the crowd.

I just got a pup after a long break from pets. She is a big girl already and will definitely need to behave. She is good with dogs, a little skittish and protective with people, I need to train her some kind good guy bad guy command or something, so far having them give her a treat works, but not practical with a crowd.

I gotta start taking her to dog parks and more public on leash environments instead of just letting her run amok on private properties all the time.

Anyways I ask because wondering myself if I would bring her along next year, she would be almost 2 by then.

Bring her.

I brought Livvy.
Jim brought Marley
Laura brought Freya
Bobby brought Rocky

And several of us would like to kill whoever brought the mosquitos. (Really, they weren't terrible compared to other places I've been) pet mosquitoes are hereby permanently banned from TRS events.

I guess it would depend on the weather. She is a German Sheperd/husky mix, so lots of fur. As it is she can usually be found near the AC vent or in the pool. I would also probably need a dedicated poop shovel.
She experienced rain for the first time the other day and was quite baffled and delighted by it, was confused by thunder but not frightened. Cool thing is despite the huge ears, things like fireworks/ motorcycles/ ranger backfires etc dont startle her. .

She has been great on a day trip road trips so far...and loves wheeling....I'll probly bring her. And maybe a lil pit bike too.
