    Bent Open Pinch Weld from Jacking?

    Got my BB inspected late last week, and taking a look under the door today I noticed some paint flaking from the pinch weld where the jack point is. The paint was hanging on by a thread and fell off with a touch, so that also leads me to believe it is very recent. A few weeks ago I had been...

    1.5L Engine Splash Cover Sand Trap

    I purchased my BS specifically for beach oversand driving, and after a few weeks of taking it out there I noticed there are a few of the splash covers on the undercarriage that act as really bad sand traps. Notably, the one in the front covering the engine has some sort of vent in the center...

    Non-Badlands Tow Points

    Hello all, Where should I attach a recovery rope if I were to get stuck and need to be pulled out in my big bend? I don’t have the tow hooks in this trim, and I don’t see any obvious covers for a tow point (unless I am missing them!). Any ideas/recommendations?Tried a search and looked through...
