Well, I didn't have to go into work until this afternoon, so thought I'd do a little wheeling this morning. Well, I rode down a trail, came to a big oak tree that had fallen over, so turned around to come out of the trail. I had almost got back to the field I had to go through to get to the trail, when I slid off into a hole, and hit a stump. My right front tire took most of the impact, somehow not bending anything important, but the bumper hit enough to bend it up, rip off the valence, and break off my DRL/turn signal. So, I drove back home, fixed the light, threw the valence behing the garage, and looked over the truck for more damage, and I'm still surprised I didn't tear up more.
Anyways, here's a couple aftermath pics.

After I fixed the light:

Eh...those valances are overrated. I took mine off after the first time i really took the truck offroad. It was either take it off, or have it get ripped off.

Yeah, bad luck follows me in my truck:nopity:
The only thing that really kinda pissed me off is that my light broke. But I fixed it:D I can live with a crooked bumper for a while.
