some how i think it broke a bed mount after it slammed down

but the sparks are throwing me for a loop as i think someone with a good camera at the right point got the pic after it slammed and made the sparks

the sparks are from the left front slamming first along with the crossmember dragging on impact check out the vidio and pause it at differant locations and you can see the impact

so this thing bent the frame into a V?

I've seen these things catch pretty good air, how does it bend out of a wheelie?

how do you stop it? boxing frame and extra k-members?

i think it tweaked the frame behind the cab and looked like it drove left rail up but if you look at his rear exit bars on his truck and where they stop they dont look to be designed very well. on the vidio they dont look but a little over a foot apart

I believe you are right . Appear to be the same distance apart as a slider window Which is roughly 1 foot. So I guess he has a cross bar in between the frame rails maybe that tries to tie it all together? dunno. But that sucks. I hope I don't do that with what we were discussing the other day
