Got the Durango box installed last night and I think I found that bang and clunk in the front that I thought was my locker.Heres my driver side motor mount.

No, there is a spooky *** hill climb approach to get to that point.Been several rollovers there,I mean barrel rolling 30 yards down hill rollovers.Everybody says my rig is capable of doing it.But to be honest with you with no cage it scares the crap outta me.

Yep, cause even with a spotter, something bad can always happen. If it starts to get hairy, I tell my passengers to get out lol. When I flopped last year, they thanked me lol.
