I'm in the outer banks of North Carolina on vacation and took the tahoe out to the sand for the first time.
Shortly after I got out on the sand I remembered I needed to take the fascia off. I went to cross the ruts to get out and I was going a little too fast, the front came up and slammed down on the next one tearing the fascia off and bending the fenders:
Front Left Wheel well:
Front Right Wheel well:
If anybody has any ideas of how to fix that, let me know. The bumper buckled out and pulled out the pins from the wheel well. I'm thinking rivets might work, any thoughts?
Anyway, I kept trucking along and was driving on some back roads. I saw a puddle got out and looked at it and thought, it can't be that deep. I got a little bit of a head start before I hit it. The front started diving big time so I nailed the accelerator, it pulled out just fine water coming up to about the hood (where's the video camera when you need it?) but the water must have shoved the skid plate up into the engine bay...
I already replaced that, nothing was damaged other than the plate at that location. I'm going to take it out again later, but i'm staying away from puddles
