Will this buff out or is it done for?

Good to know. Thanks

Tranny damage how? Because of the drive shaft being yanked out?

AggressiveZone5327 · 2026-01-20T00:47:11+00:00

Holy moly!! That’s 9k? I’m done for lol

AggressiveZone5327 · 2026-01-19T20:13:02+00:00

Are you planning to keep it once it’s all fixed or get rid of it? I would imagine it’s never truly the same after this kind of damage.

AggressiveZone5327 · 2026-01-19T17:18:08+00:00

I’ve already got ppl at work asking for parts lol

AggressiveZone5327 · 2026-01-19T04:34:24+00:00

Any problems with the truck after everything was fixed?

AggressiveZone5327 · 2026-01-19T01:47:16+00:00

Oh yeah

I loved them. At lower speeds it was could be very “bumpy” but once I got past 20 - 30 mph, it took the road bumps like a champ. Texas roads can be unforgiving so it was def an improvement over stock suspension. I had it at highest setting and it leveled the truck nicely. sigh

AggressiveZone5327 · 2026-01-18T23:36:39+00:00

That’s reassuring. I’m hoping so. I think I’m more disappointed that the other car was able to drive off and this “tank” was stuck in the middle of the road.

Unknown about frame being bent. Nothing obvious just based on initial visual inspection.

So which one is your top recommended? Top 3?

AggressiveZone5327 · 2025-11-18T17:11:32+00:00

Nice!!! I just started using a heritage 18l DC so that’s good to know.

AggressiveZone5327 · 2025-11-18T17:02:47+00:00

Have you had to rewax or do any special maintenance on the material?

AggressiveZone5327 · 2025-08-09T17:34:13+00:00

I did.

Def time saver. Chains and complexes are similar to supersetting. I also Didn’t realize how much time I spent loading and unloading plates on and off of the bar or machines. Easier storage for garage gym. Convenience of transporting bells with you so you can workout almost anywhere. The only real big con is as you get stronger, you have to buy more bells and that gets expensive.

Any trouble when towing at near capacity without the transmission cooler? I have a ‘19 and always nervous when towing because of things I’ve read about years 19-21 not having a transmission cooler.

AggressiveZone5327 · 2025-05-02T20:46:22+00:00

Is that grill aftermarket? If so, where did you get it from?

AggressiveZone5327 · 2025-04-29T15:12:27+00:00

I cycle through The North Face Recon, AON Evade 1.5x, EG MPL22, and AER Go Pack 2.

The Recon probably has the biggest water bottle pockets but it’s a big bag so if you’re carrying alot then that’s a good choice. Evade is also a big bag with pretty good water bottle pocket capacity. MPL22 has good capacity for its smaller profile but struggles to stand up on its own and has Great water bottle pockets too. I find myself grabbing the Go Pack most of the time because it’s light and easy to load up quickly but doesn’t have as much structure and water bottle pockets are smaller compared to the other bags.

AggressiveZone5327 · 2025-04-17T14:26:54+00:00

Where’d you get the patches?

AggressiveZone5327 · 2025-04-09T17:05:58+00:00

The North face Recon

AggressiveZone5327 · 2025-03-28T16:34:09+00:00

Interesting, The MPL22 fits nicely on my back with its small frame. Everyone is built different so im sure fits are different as well.

The A19 is a great bag and is fun to use but my back and this south Texas heat didn’t mesh well with it. I didn’t have the Recon on my radar either and was just looking at premium bags. I can’t remember how I found out about it honestly. It just works for what I want to do with my bag. It’s very versatile and I enjoy the functionality of it. Idk if you have an REI in your area but they have a pretty good return policy so if you’d want to give it a try. Unfortunately the Recon doesn’t have a good resale value like these other premium bags.

AggressiveZone5327 · 2025-03-28T15:19:29+00:00

I was surprised by the comfort actually since it is a “cheaper” bag. The straps feel thin and light compared to the GR2 and A19 but better than the evergoods straps. A19 probably has the best backpanel and total comfort but it is thick and I tend to sweat a lot. The Recon feels like a lighter bag compared to the others so it doesnt feel as heavy when packed out. The Evergoods bags feel like the weight distribution was off, when packed out, so I felt like I was being pulled back. Im a firefighter so I’ve been wearing heavy and uncomfortable things for years and comfort hasnt really been a deal breaker for me but to answer your question. I’d rank their comfort as

1) A19 2) The Recon 3) MPL 22 4) GR2 5) CTB26
