Hey, Thanks to everyone that gave me advice about this! I'm not paranoid about going 4wheelin' again now. When it first happened, I assumed I had screwed it up somehow, although I wasn't abusing it in anyway. Just leisurely drive through the local mountains on an unmaintained forest service road. I'm going to keep mine stock, but I'm a rock hound and want to be able to go wherever I want, without worring too much about getting stuck. That's why I got the Off Road, 4x4 but with the added protection underneath. Thanks again to everybody that had advice, I appreciate it! lj
